Want a quick, crowd-pleasing dessert for a girls’ night in or an impromptu movie marathon? These cookie brownie cheesecake cups will satisfy any late-night craving.

No measuring cups, no stress. Just gooey, chocolatey perfection in every bite. I spotted this viral idea via Instagram earlier this month and had to give it a try!

More tips for making this cheesecake brookie dessert:
- Need a gluten-free version? Opt for a gluten-free premade dough and gluten-free brownie mix.
- I use a peanut butter cookie dough, but feel free to use chocolate chip or your favorite cookie dough for variety!
- You’ll likely have some extra brownie batter leftover, so consider baking the rest in the muffin pan afterwards as brownie bites.
- Be sure to grease your pan first to prevent food from sticking to the sides or bottom.
🎉 Last-minute dessert emergency? Try This!
These cookie brownie cheesecake cups may not look the prettiest, but they turn out soft yet chewy and very rich tasting. This is not the type of treat I would make too often, but a fun one to try! I haven’t experimented with brookies recipes before, and this is making me want to try more variations.

These look so good
Can these be made in a 9×13 if you maybe double the cookie dough?
Good question! We haven’t tried it that way before, but it could work! You may need to adjust the time a bit and keep checking for doneness. 🤗 Let us know how they turn out!
Ty!
You’re welcome! 🩷
