If the dough is too soft, add a little flour to help shape the dough. 3 Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Let the cookie cups cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before gently removing them and transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. 2. Make the Strawberry Cream Cheese Filling: 1 In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. 2 Add powdered sugar, strawberry jam, and vanilla extract. Continue to mix until fully combined and smooth. 3. Fill the Cookie Cups: 1 Once the cookie cups have cooled completely, spoon or pipe the strawberry cream cheese filling into each cookie cup, filling them generously. 4. Garnish: 1 Garnish each cookie cup with a slice of fresh strawberry, a sprinkle of Valentine sprinkles, and a little extra strawberry jam or preserves for added flavor and decoration. 5.
