• Preheat the oven 325 degrees and line a 12-count muffin pan with cupcake liners. Set aside.

Graham Cracker Crust

• Place the graham cracker sheets into a food processor or blender and pulse until fine crumbs. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, sugar, and salt.
• Evenly disperse the graham cracker crumbs into the cupcake liners, pressing down firmly (use your fingers or a ¼ measuring cup). Bake for 5 minutes and set aside to cool while making the cheesecake filling.

Chocolate Chip Cheesecake

• In the bowl of an electric stand mixer using the paddle attachment, cream together the cream cheese and sugar on high speed until smooth (about 1-2 minutes). Scrape the sides of the bowl a few times during this process.
• Add the yogurt and vanilla extract and mix on medium speed until combined. Then add the eggs, mixing on low-medium speed, until just incorporated. Remove the bowl from the stand and fold in the mini chocolate chips using a rubber spatula.
• Evenly distribute the cheesecake filling into the cupcake liners, covering the graham cracker crust (I used my #24 cookie scoop). Place the muffin pan into the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the tops of the cheesecakes are set (if the cheesecakes jiggle when shaken, they're not done yet).
• Allow the cheesecakes to cool for 45 minutes on the counter and then cover the entire muffin pan with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator to chill for 3 hours.

Whipped Cream

• In the bowl of an electric stand mixer using the whisk attachment, whisk together the heavy whipping cream, sugar, and vanilla extract on high speed for 2-3 minutes.
• Top the chilled cheesecakes with the whipped cream and one mini chocolate chip cookie.
• Keep any leftover mini cheesecakes in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
