Ingredients

3 (8 oz.) pkgs. Philadelphia cream cheese

5 eggs

1 cup sugar

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla

Preparation

Cream cheese should be room temperature. Gradually mix each cheese package in mixer and add eggs one at a time, then add sugar and vanilla. Pour into 2 inch foil cups (almost to top) which have been placed in cupcake tins and bake in a 300 degree oven for 30 to 40 minutes. Do not let edges get brown. When they are removed from oven, they will drop in center. This is OK. Leave oven turned on and make topping as follows: 1/4 c. sugar 1/2 tsp. vanilla

Put 1 teaspoon of topping on each foil cup and top with maraschino cherries (which have been drained on paper towels), jelly or nuts. Put back into oven for 5 minutes. Makes 30.
