Blueberry Cheesecake Cookies are made with a muffin mix for a fruity, soft, and chewy cookie studded with creamy white chocolate chips. A quick and easy dessert!
Oh. My. Heck. If you love blueberry muffins and blueberry pancakes, you are going to love these cookies! I made this recipe for the first time over 5 years ago, but made them again with my Raspberry Cheesecake Cookies for the fourth of July, and they were the perfect “red, white, and blue” dessert!
BLUEBERRY CHEESECAKE COOKIES
Blueberry Cheesecake Cookies are made with a blueberry muffin mix, cream cheese, and white chocolate chips. (Plus a few other ingredients.) They could not be easier! It’s a super versatile recipe. Just use your favorite flavor of muffin mix.
Cream cheese in the batter makes these blueberry cheesecake cookies soft, tender, and chewy. White chocolate chips add just the right touch of sweetness and richness. These cookies are pretty cheap and easy to make, and everyone loves them!

What a good idea to use the blueberry muffin mix! Smarty 🙂 These look great 🙂 Krista @ A Handful of Everything
Can you triple this recipe?
If you have a big mixer like a Bosch, I would say yes. If you have a smaller KitchenAid or hand mixer I would only double it.
My family would love these!
What a great idea! I am just pinning all of your recipes tonight. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by Tasty Tuesdays – can’t wait to see what you have next week.
Thanks for linking this at our All My Bloggy Friends Party ! Hope to see you again tomorrow !

I am using the Jiffy Raspberry Muffin mix right now to make these. I hope they are as good as the blueberry!
Ooh! Please tell me how they turn out!!!
Hi Amber…you have a whole arsenal on blueberries..Yummo! Thank you for sharing at the Rate the Plate Utah party! Followed you all the way here! Have a good week!

Well…I might be slightly obsessed with blueberries… haha 🙂
Omg!!! I have to say these look great! And so does mine. Thank you so much for the recipe. My cookies look amazing. They are cooling at the moment. I just cannot believe I made these all by myself. Thanks again!
Hooray! I am so glad that they turned out great! I hope you enjoy the taste as well 🙂
Just found these and I am going to be featuring them in a fun Blueberry Peach Recipes Round up tomorrow morning!
If you use one box of blueberry muffin mix and one box of raspberry muffin mix you get mixed berries!
I’ll be making a lot of these cookies. Received a case of the blueberry mix and have been giving them to friends. No more! I’m using the mix now. Thanks for the recipe. They look delicious.
Awesome! Enjoy those cookies!
wow this recipe looks amazing!
Thank you! We love them!
These cookies looks great! Going to make them and use them for refreshments at my church this Sunday! Thanks for a great idea!
Awesome! I hope you love them as much as we do!
Made these back in the summer for a bake sale and these hikers sold out! They were even buying the crumbs and broken ones!!! Making them again tonight for a Superbowl party at work tomorrow and I know they’re gonna be a hit!!! Thanks for the recipe! It’s awesome!!!!!!!
That is awesome news! I’m so glad do hear you and others are enjoying this recipe so much! Thanks for your comment Lissa!
Can you use butter instead of shortening?
They might spread more. You can definitely try it. Maybe do a test cookie first. If it spreads too much, then add a little extra flour.
Curious the yield on this recipe?
4 dozen small cookies, or 2-3 dozen medium/large cookies.
Holy moly! I just made these and they are FABULOUS!!! Might be the best cookies I’ve ever made. Only substitutes, because it’s what I had on hand- Martha White muffin mix, 2 tablespoons extra flour because MW is only 6.5 oz package, and coconut oil instead of crisco. I definitely plan to make these again with different flavors of mix, like strawberry or apple cinnamon. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!
That’s great Lauren! Glad it was a success! Thanks for your comment!
Was wondering if you could make these without crisco? I don’t currently have one and this momma is having cravings 🙂
If you have coconut oil, that would be a great substitution. Butter or margarine might be okay, but the cookies may spread. If you decide to use butter or margarine, I would bake one test cookie first, and add 2-4 Tbsp extra flour to the dough if the cookie spreads flat.
They look sooo delicious! Making the batter now for Thanksgiving tomorrow! I plan on chilling the batter first though, hopefully it’ll boost the flavor! I also substituted Martha White Blueberry Cheesecake muffin mix instead! Thanks for the idea!
Do you use the berries that came in the muffin mix box or fresh?!
Just the ones in the box.
Do these cookies have to be refrigerated after baking since they contain cream cheese
Nope. They are fine at room temperature.
I want to try both the blueberry and the raspberry cheesecake recipes, they look amazing! Can I find the jiffy muffin mixes at Walmart, and if not could I use a different brand of muffin mix?
As long as you have 14oz of muffin mix total, you should be fine regardless of the brand. I have had the best luck finding jiffy mixes at Winco Foods.
What is the yield on this recipe?
2 to 3 dozen cookies depending on the size.
Oh my word!!! These cookies are knock your socks off easy and DELICIOUS😁
So glad you liked them Rebekah! Thanks for sharing your review!
These cookies are absolutely delicious. Everyone I let taste them wants me to make them for them. So easy to make!
Wonderful! Thanks for your review Cathy!
Can fresh blueberries be added? If yes, how much should be added. I am going to make them but I was unable to find blueberry jiffy so I bought regular along with fresh blueberries. Please let me know if they will work. Thank you in advance!
I would make sure they are coated in flour first. And fold very gently. Here is a similar post with raspberries that may be helpful: https://www.dessertnowdinnerlater.com/raspberry-chocolate-chip-cookies/
I have made these 4 times and they are so moist and soooooooo good! I will be making these every holiday! Everyone loves them!
That’s wonderful! Glad you are loving these cookies!
Can I use regular crisco with these cookies. Don’t have any butter flavored at my store right now
That would be just fine.
