Blueberry Cheesecake Cookies Ingredients

You’ll need the following ingredients to make these amazing Blueberry Cream Cheese Cookies.

Ingredient Notes

(Complete ingredients and measurements are in the recipe card below.)

Dry Ingredients – The all-purpose flour, salt and baking soda will provice structure to the cookies.

Butter – Butter adds moisture to your cookies. For best flavor, use real butter at room temperature.

Brown Sugar – Brown sugar lends a rich caramel flavor to the blueberry cream cheese cookies as well as helping to make them chewy.

Blueberries – Use fresh blueberries for a bursting with juiciness flavor.

Pudding Mix – Adding in instant pudding mix to your cookies will make for a softer cookie and enhances the flavor. I use the vanilla flavor. Make sure your pudding mix is the instant variety and you just add it in dry.

Additions and Substitutions

• Add in some chopped nuts such as pecans or walnuts to give a nice added texture and flavor.
• About a tablespoon of lemon zest added to the dough will add a slight tanginess. You can also switch out the vanilla extract for lemon extract for an even stronger lemon flavor. Blurberries and lemons were made for each other.

How to Make Blueberry Cheesecake Cookies: Step by Step

Here are some quick visual instructions. The full instructions with exact ingredients will be in the recipe card below.  Before getting started, preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheet with parchment paper and set to the side.

Step 1:  In a  bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda and salt and set aside.

Step 2:  Using a stand or electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar on high speed until light brown , at least 2 minutes. 

Step 3:  Add the pudding mix, vanilla and eggs and beat on high for 3-4 minutes.

Step 4:  Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and turn the mixer on low to start, after about 1 minute then turn the mixer up to high and mix until combined.  

Step 5:  Add blueberries and stir with a rubber spatula until mixed thoroughly.

Step 6: Use a cookie maker and scoop half of the scoop with cookie dough and add a pinch of cream cheese then add the other half of cookie dough to the scoop. Make even balls and place everything on a cookie sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until slightly golden and just set on the top. 

Recipe Notes

• After adding the small blueberries to your cookie batter, mix them in with a spatula. Don’t use the electric mixer because it can break the blueberries.
• Before putting your cookies on a cooling rack, allow them to sit out for about five minutes on the baking pan. Waiting a few minutes will keep the cookies from breaking into pieces.
• Do not overbake. When you pull them out of the oven, cookies should still be slightly soft in the center. They will continue to set as they cool.
• Use a cookie scoop to assure a uniform size cookie. I use a medium scoop which is about 2 tablespoons.

Cream cheese filled blueberry cookies can be stored in your refrigerator in a covered container for about 1 week.

You can freeze these cookies for longer storage. Place the cooled blueberry cheesecake cookies in a single layer on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Put them in the freezer for several hours. Once frozen solid, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag and store them in the freezer for up to 3 months. When ready to serve, thaw them at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
