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!
Ingredients
- 4 oz (113 g) block-style cream cheese
- ½ cup (113 g) butter flavored Crisco shortening
- ½ cup (100 g) light brown sugar, gently packed
- 1 large egg
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 14 oz (396 g) Jiffy blueberry muffin mix, (two 7-oz boxes)
- ½ cup (60 g) all-purpose flour, (stir, spoon & level)
- 1 cup (170 g) white chocolate chips
Equipment
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Line half sheet pans with silicone baking mats or parchment paper. Set aside.
- Using an electric mixer, cream together the cream cheese, Crisco, and brown sugar. Add the egg and vanilla. Mix. Scrape bowl.
- Add muffin mix and flour. Mix until just incorporated. Fold in white chocolate chips.
- Scoop cookie dough balls (with a #40 scoop; about 1 ½ Tbsp) onto parchment or silicone lined baking sheets about 2-3 inches apart.
- Bake at 325˚F for 14 minutes until edges are set. Allow cookies to cool for a 1-2 minutes on the tray, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter (room temperature) can be substituted for the Crisco shortening. (Do not melt or soften.)
- Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days.

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!
Oh my word!!! These cookies are knock your socks off easy and DELICIOUS😁
So glad you liked them Rebekah! Thanks for sharing your review!
What is the yield on this recipe?
2 to 3 dozen cookies depending on the size.
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.
Do these cookies have to be refrigerated after baking since they contain cream cheese
Nope. They are fine at room temperature.
Do you use the berries that came in the muffin mix box or fresh?!
Just the ones in the box.
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!
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.
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!
Curious the yield on this recipe?
4 dozen small cookies, or 2-3 dozen medium/large cookies.
