Ingredients
For the cookie crust;
- ¾ cup butter softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
For the pumpkin cheesecake filling;

- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg plus additional for garnish
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ cup brown sugar packed

Instructions
To make the cookie crust cups;
- Blend the butter, sugar, egg, and cinnamon in a large bowl. Add the flour and blend until just combined.
- Scoop the cookie dough into mini muffin tins OR regular sized muffin tins (both shown) that have been sprayed liberally with baking spray.
- Use a pastry tamper (or fingers) to work the cookie dough into cookie cups in the tin. *Note - twisting and lifting the tamper after pressing it into the dough is the best way to release the tool from the sticky dough.
- Bake the cookie cups in a preheated 350-degree oven for 18-20 minutes.
- Remove the cookie cups from the oven and press again with the tamper (if needed) to redefine the cups.
- Cool the cookie cups completely on a baking rack.
To make the pumpkin cheesecake filling;
- In a large bowl, blend together the softened cream cheese, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg until creamy.
- Blend in the pumpkin purée and Greek yogurt until completely incorporated.
- Spoon the pumpkin cheesecake filling into a large zip-top bag and work the filling into one of the bottom corners.
- Snip a small corner off of the bottom of the bag and carefully squeeze the pumpkin cheesecake filling into the baked and cooled cookie cups.
- Dust the tops of the Pumpkin Cheesecake Tartlets with ground cinnamon or freshly grated nutmeg before serving.
