Ingredients

16 vanilla wafer cookies
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
0.75 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method

Set your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare 16 muffin tin cups by lining them with cupcake papers.
Put one vanilla wafer cookie into the base of each prepared cupcake liner.
In a medium bowl, use an electric mixer to blend the softened cream cheese and 0.75 cup white sugar until creamy. Mix in the eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until the batter is smooth. Distribute this batter evenly over the wafers in the liners.
Bake in your preheated oven for about 15 minutes, until the tops are golden and the filling is set.
