Galletas de Cheescake

So you’re craving something tasty but too lazy to spend forever in the kitchen, huh? Same. Let me introduce you to the world of Galletas de Cheescake. They are the ultimate solution for when that sweet tooth decides to show up uninvited—and the best part is you don’t need culinary skills worthy of a Michelin star to whip them up. If you can handle a bowl and a spoon, you are halfway there. Let’s jump right in, amigos!

Why This Recipe is Awesome

You might think baking is tough and requires some serious skills. Psshh, not with this recipe. It’s idiot-proof, even I didn’t mess it up. These little beauties are basically the love child of a cheesecake and a cookie. Imagine creamy and dreamy cheesecake filling tucked snugly in a buttery cookie crust. Honestly, who could say no to that? Plus, you only need a few ingredients that won’t take up permanent residence in your pantry. What’s not to love?

Ingredients You’ll Need

Alright, gather your kitchen supplies because we’re about to make magic. Here’s what you need:

Para la Masa

1 taza de harina 000 (because fancy is what we are today)
1 cucharada y media de polvo de hornear (makes it rise like your hopes on a Monday)
8 cucharadas de manteca a temperatura ambiente (soft and ready for action, just like you)
1 huevo (the little round miracle worker)

Para el Relleno

250 gr. de queso crema (the star of the show)
¼ de taza de azúcar (because sweet dreams are made of this)
Ralladura de limón (a zest of sunshine)
Esencia de vainilla (because vanilla makes everything better)
Almidón de maíz 1 cucharada chica (to keep things from getting too wild)
Frutos rojos (because they’re pretty and tasty, duh)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Let’s get our hands dirty, shall we? Follow these simple steps and you’ll be snacking in no time.

Precalienta el horno a 180 grados. Your oven needs to be cozy before we start baking.
En un procesador, arma la masa con la harina, la manteca, el polvo de hornear y el huevo. Just throw everything in and let those blades do the work.
Engrasar moldes para muffins y rellenarlos con la masa, cubriendo los laterales y armando una especie de canasta. You’re basically building cookie cups—how cool is that?
Para el Relleno: mezcla el queso crema con el azúcar, la ralladura de limón, la vainilla y el almidón de maíz. Get that smooth creaminess going.
Rellena las canastas que hiciste atrás y lleva al horno por 30 minutos. Patience, my friend. Good things take time.
Termina con reducción o mermelada de frutos rojos. This is the cherry on top, or should I say, the berry on top.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

So you want to avoid disasters in the kitchen. Here are some common mistakes that could turn your Galletas de Cheescake into Galletas de Error.

Thinking you don’t need to preheat the oven—rookie mistake. Seriously, no one likes raw cookie dough in a muffin shaped like an awkward pancake.
Overmixing the filling. Your cheesecake isn’t a protein shake. Just mix until smooth, not until it gets anxious.
Using cold butter. Unless you want to stress out your dough, make sure that butter is soft. It deserves to chill just like us.

Alternatives & Substitutions

Maybe you don’t have all the ingredients? No worries, I got your back.

Harina 000. No flour? You can use all-purpose flour. It won’t be exactly the same but we aren’t here to judge.
Queso crema. Cream cheese not available? Mascarpone will work too. Go ahead and speak Italian in your kitchen.
Frutos Rojos. If you don’t have berries, use chocolate chips. Because chocolate is always a good idea, right?

I’m just saying, you have options. It’s like a buffet but in the baking world.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

Do you have questions? No worries, I got solutions. Read these FAQs and save yourself the agony of uncertainty.

Can I use margarine instead of butter? Well, technically yes, but why hurt your soul like that? Butter is where the magic happens.
How do I store these cookies? Throw them in an airtight container. If you can resist eating them all, that is.
Will these cookies be chewy or crunchy? They’re like a best-of-both-worlds situation. A little crunch from the crust and creamy goodness in the center.
Can I make these gluten-free? Sure thing. Just swap the flour with a gluten-free option. Easy peasy.
What if I burn them? Try singing a sad song while eating the blackened remains. It’s good for the soul.
Can I skip the fruit topping? You do you, boo. Enjoy them plain or toss some chocolate over on top.
