Helpful Tips and Frequently Asked Questions
I use the ready made graham cracker crust in this recipe because this is more flavorful than plain graham cracker crumbs, but they can be used if necessary.
Mini Muffin Pans with Removable Bottoms can be purchased at kitchen stores or online. Amazon has several different options.
Roll the dough into equal size balls, 1 inch works well. Do not overbake the cookie dough crusts. They will become dry of overbaked.
After the cookie cups with filling are chilled, carefully, remove the cookie cups from pan by pushing the bottom disc upward with fingers. Remove disc from bottom of crust using a butter knife.
Can these be made in advance?
YES, These can be made a day ahead of serving. Store in airtight containers and refrigerate for up to 2-3 days total. After 3 days, the cookie crusts will become soggy.

RASPBERRY LIME COOKIE CUPS
Ingredients
- 1 16.5oz roll refrigerated sugar cookie dough
- 1/4 cup crumbs from graham cracker ready made pie crust may use graham cracker crumbs
- 1 14oz can sweetened condensed milk
- 6 oz cream cheese softened
- 3 medium limes washed
- 1/4 cup red raspberry preserves
- 24 medium fresh raspberries washed and dry
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly spray 2 (12 cup) mini cheesecake pans with removable bottoms, with no stick cooking spray.
- Break up and crumble the cookie dough into a large mixing bowl. Add the graham cracker crumbs and combine well, using hands. Divide the dough into 24 equal size balls, about 1-inch each. Press a ball into the bottom of each cup to form a crust.
- Bake for 10 minutes. Remove pan from oven to a wire cooling rack. Using the end of a wooden spoon, make a slight indentation in each cookie cup.
- Meanwhile, combine the sweetened condensed milk and cream cheese in a medium size saucepan. Cut 6 slices from one of the limes (1/4 inch each). Squeeze the juice from the remaining part of that lime into the saucepan. Set the slices aside. Zest the remaining 2 limes and set this aside. Cut each of the limes in half and squeeze the juice from them into the saucepan with sweetened condensed milk. Cook the milk, cream cheese and lime juice over a low heat, stirring constantly until mixture begins to bubble and starts to thicken; about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- Spoon equal amounts of the filling (about 1 Tablespoon) onto each cookie crust. Top each with 1/2 teaspoon preserves. Using a toothpick, lightly swirl into the filling. Chill pans for 1 hour. Loosen the cookie cups around the edges with a small plastic knife. Return to refrigerator for 1 hour.
- Carefully, remove the cookie cups from pan by pushing the bottom disc upward with fingers. Remove disc from bottom of crust using a butter knife. Transfer to a serving platter. Cut each lime slice into 4 wedges. Garnish each cookie cup with a lime wedge pointed into the filling, and a raspberry. Sprinkle lime zest over the cookie tops. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes
They are beautiful and they sound so yummy! I am going to have to put mini-cheesecake pans on my Amazon wish list so that I can try these!
Thank you. I have used those pans so many times over the years. I love specialty pans and have so many different ones. I need to get back into baking more than I do right now.
