Cranberry-Pear Cookie Cups image

I bake cream cheese cookie dough in miniature muffin tins to form little cups that hold a ginger-spiced fruit filling. They're fun for winter potlucks and are just the right size. -Roxanne Chan, Albany, California

These cookie cups were a disaster! The dough was too sticky to work with, and the filling was too runny. I ended up with a big mess in my kitchen. I would not recommend this recipe.

These were a little too sweet for my taste, but overall they were still good. The cookie cups were nice and crispy, and the cranberry-pear filling was flavorful. I think I would try making them with less sugar next time.
