December 24, 2014 at 11:06 pmHow many is this recipe supposed to make? It says 12, but I used a roll of Pillsbury cookie dough and there was FAR to much dough for just 12. I made them into balls the size of what is pictured and easily filled 24 regular size cupcake cups, but the cheesecake mixture was spread thin over the 24 cupcakes. The result was a cupcake with the pictured size of cookie at the bottom but only a thin layer of cheesecake on top. The next time I make these I plan to double the cheesecake ingredients and make 24. Either that or only use half a roll of cookie dough.
