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!

February 17, 2015 at 2:13 PMCan you triple this recipe?
Amber says
February 19, 2015 at 4:01 PMIf 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.

Bluebert says
November 11, 2013 at 11:06 PMIf you use one box of blueberry muffin mix and one box of raspberry muffin mix you get mixed berries!
BJ says

Amber says
February 5, 2017 at 10:38 AMThat is awesome news! I’m so glad do hear you and others are enjoying this recipe so much! Thanks for your comment Lissa!
Kelli Sobczuk says
February 6, 2018 at 2:47 PMCan you use butter instead of shortening?
Amber says
February 10, 2018 at 5:41 PMThey 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.
Valerie says
May 29, 2018 at 8:59 AMCurious the yield on this recipe?
Amber says
May 29, 2018 at 1:04 PM4 dozen small cookies, or 2-3 dozen medium/large cookies.
Lauren Robertson says
September 30, 2018 at 9:20 PMHoly 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!
Amber Brady says
October 2, 2018 at 1:22 PMThat’s great Lauren! Glad it was a success! Thanks for your comment!
Summer says
October 18, 2018 at 9:41 PMWas wondering if you could make these without crisco? I don’t currently have one and this momma is having cravings 🙂
Amber Brady says
October 19, 2018 at 6:10 AMIf 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.
Chelsey Mangham says
November 21, 2018 at 4:41 PMThey 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!
Ashley says
December 9, 2018 at 6:59 AMDo you use the berries that came in the muffin mix box or fresh?!
Amber | Dessert Now Dinner Later says
December 11, 2018 at 9:22 AMJust the ones in the box.
Loti says
December 15, 2018 at 11:43 AMDo these cookies have to be refrigerated after baking since they contain cream cheese
Amber | Dessert Now Dinner Later says
December 18, 2018 at 11:22 AMNope. They are fine at room temperature.
Annastasia says
December 28, 2018 at 10:14 PMI 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?
Amber | Dessert Now Dinner Later says
December 30, 2018 at 8:36 AMAs 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.
Amber Rose says
July 4, 2019 at 8:06 PMWhat is the yield on this recipe?
Amber | Dessert Now Dinner Later says
July 5, 2019 at 2:05 PM2 to 3 dozen cookies depending on the size.
