Cookie Ingredients and Variations
WET INGREDIENTS Some eggs, butter, sugar, and cream cheese are mixed until smooth and creamy. To make this process easier, make sure that the cream cheese and butter are at room temperature.
DRY INGREDIENTS Muffin mix, flour, and cornstarch are combined and then added to the wet mixture. This recipe calls for a blueberry muffin mix but a variety of store-bought muffin mixes can be used for this recipe like triple berry, and banana nut.
ADD-INS For this recipe, white chocolate chips give that sweet chocolatey flavor while maintaining the pale appearance of cheesecake.
Get creative and stir in some poppy seed, flaked coconut, small pieces of chopped dried fruit like strawberry or raspberry, and lemon or orange zest. Or use a basic muffin mix and add some fresh or frozen blueberries or chopped strawberries.

Tips for the Perfect Cookie
- For smoother mixing, set the butter and cream cheese out for about 30 minutes to soften before preparing the recipe.
- A cookie scoop will ensure equally sized and perfectly shaped cookies every time!
- To get that soft, cheesecake-like texture, avoid over baking the cookies.
- Let cookies set on the baking sheet for about 2 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
- If using nuts, make them extra crunchy by tossing them in a dry sauté pan until they are barely fragrant.
Cookie Storage Ideas
Blueberry cheesecake cookies are best kept in an airtight container stored at room temperature, refresh them by popping them in a preheated toaster oven or an air fryer for a couple of minutes. Or, wrap individually and freeze for up to 4 weeks, perfect for a grab-and-go treat.
