Ingredients

• ½ cup butter, softened
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons butter
• ⅓ cup white sugar
• ½ cup milk chocolate chips
• 1 (6 ounce) package cream cheese, softened

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

Step 2

Mix flour and sugar together in a large bowl. Set aside.

Step 3

Beat cream cheese and butter together using an electric mixer in a mixing bowl until combined. Stir into flour mixture until just combined. Press pastry dough evenly into the bottom and up the sides of each cup of an ungreased 24-cup mini muffin pan.

Step 4

Heat milk chocolate chips and butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat until melted and chocolate is only slightly lumpy, 2 to 3 minutes. Cool slightly and stir in sugar, egg, and vanilla extract.

Step 5

Spoon roughly 1 teaspoon batter into each pastry-lined muffin cup.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven until pastry is golden and filling is slightly puffed, about 20 minutes. Let cool in pan 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
