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!

Can you triple this recipe?
Amber says
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.
Hollie - TheSevenYearCottage says
My family would love these!

Bluebert says
If you use one box of blueberry muffin mix and one box of raspberry muffin mix you get mixed berries!
BJ says
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.

Lissa says
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!!!!!!!
Amber says
That 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
Can you use butter instead of shortening?
Amber says
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.
Valerie says
Curious the yield on this recipe?
Amber says
4 dozen small cookies, or 2-3 dozen medium/large cookies.
Lauren Robertson says
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!
Amber Brady says
That’s great Lauren! Glad it was a success! Thanks for your comment!
Summer says
Was wondering if you could make these without crisco? I don’t currently have one and this momma is having cravings 🙂
Amber Brady says
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.
Chelsey Mangham says
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!
Ashley says
Do you use the berries that came in the muffin mix box or fresh?!
Amber | Dessert Now Dinner Later says
Just the ones in the box.
Loti says
Do these cookies have to be refrigerated after baking since they contain cream cheese
Amber | Dessert Now Dinner Later says
Nope. They are fine at room temperature.
Annastasia says
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?
Amber | Dessert Now Dinner Later says
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.
