Lavender & Lemon Cheesecake Cookie Cups

In order to make this recipe super simple, I used Pillsbury refrigerated sugar cookie dough. I simply greased the inside of a cupcake tray and then lined it with the sugar cookie dough. The sugar cookie cup is the perfect way to package the lavender & lemon cheesecake. The cup was thick enough that it didn’t get soft holding the cheesecake. Plus, it added a bit more sweetness to the cheesecake.

For the lavender & lemon cheesecake I used my Young Living Essential Oils because they are quick and easy to flavor a cheesecake recipe. I love using my Young Living Essential Oils in desserts because they are therapeutic grade and they just add the perfect amount of flavor. Plus, who doesn’t love lavender and lemon for summer.

Not all essential oils are edible. Due to lack of purity, 98% of essential oils sold should NOT be ingested. An edible essential oil will be labeled “therapeutic-grade” and have a “Supplement Facts” box on the label showing the nutritional value – do NOT use just any brand of essential oil for cooking/flavoring foods. Be sure to use pure oils from reliable sources, not synthetic scents or flavorings.
