Do you have the recipe for the shark cookies? Thanks in advance if you do :)

The shark cookies are simply a sugar cookie with royal icing. I will post my recipe later tonight or tomorrow, however in the mean time here are some blogs with excellent recipes. My recipe is very similar, the only main difference is I roll my cookies to 1/4 an inch and the extracts I use (ranging from vanilla to lemon to coconut)

And here is the recipe I use for royal icing

Hope this helps!

Mini Cheesecake Recipe

These mini treats were surprisingly easy to make and flew off the plate, everyone will love them!

Ingredients

Crust

1 cup graham cracker crumbs 

2 TBSP brown sugar

2 1/2 TBSP butter (melted)

Cheesecake 

2 8oz. Packages of cream cheese (softened and at room temperature)

3/4 cup sugar

3 eggs

1 TBSP vanilla extract

canned pie filling (optional)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 and line two mini cupcake pans with wrappers.

In a medium bowl combine the graham cracker crumbs and brown sugar. Pour in the melted butter and combine until moist with a fork.

Spoon about a teaspoon and a half of the crust into each cup and press down.

In a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment cream the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the sugar, eggs, and vanilla one at a time beating well after each addition. 

Spoon the cream cheese mixture over the crust filling the cups approximately 3/4 of the way full. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the middle of the cheesecakes no longer jiggles (i know, weird). 

Optional: Garnish the cheesecakes with a small dollop of the pre-made pie filling of your choice, once cool.

Refrigerate the cheesecakes until ready to serve
