Line 12 muffin tins with cupcake liners. Place 1 Celebration cookie in each liner.
Using a mixer, beat softened cream cheese on medium speed until fluffy. Add egg, sugar, and vanilla. Mix on medium speed, until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Use a ¼ cup measuring cup to add batter to the muffin cups.
Sprinkle top with chocolate chips.
Bake for 15 minutes. Cheesecakes will be just slightly brown on edge.
Cool on a rack for 15-30 minutes before removing. Place on a baking tray to complete cooling.
Refrigerate for 1 hour before serving. Serve plain, or top with a caramel sauce drizzle.
