Blueberry Cheesecake Cookies

As I have said before, I'm a terrible cookie baker. Just ask Matt. I've done everything wrong: too flat, won't cook all the way, burned them too many times to count, crispy on the bottom and soft on the top, liquidy, lumpy, too salty, etc. I don't know if it's the precision that you have to use with the ingredients for the 8-12 minute bake time. It's not really enough time to do anything else but it's too long to just stand there. Any, if I try to use that time to clean I inevitably will be in the middle of washing a dish when the buzzer goes off. By the time I finish, dry my hands, and get the oven mitt - they're burned.

So last night when I made these Jason came over and said "You made cookies? They look fine. Are they slice and bake?" and as soon as Matt walked in the kitchen he says "oh..... you made cookies (with a frown on his face)." When I pointed out that they weren't burned he asked "have you tried it yet? because that could be the problem." Thanks guys.... and no, I hadn't tried them yet.

Lo and behold, they were delicious and Matt quickly asked if I got more milk. So, try out this recipe - that I got via Pinterest - because they are cakey and sweet and too good to pass up.

Blueberry Cheesecake Cookies

Blueberry Cheesecake Cookies
makes 36 cookies


1/2 cup margarine
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
2 boxes Jiffy Blueberry Muffin Mix
1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips


1. Blend the margarine, cream cheese, and brown sugar until well combined. 
2. Stir in eggs one at a time until well blended.
3. Add muffin mixes and blend well.
4. Fold in white chocolate chips. Refrigerate for at least an hour - this is important as the batter will seem runny. The muffin mix will soak up the liquid and the dough will become fluffy and cake-like.
5. Preheat oven to 325. Drop cookies by the tablespoon about 2 inches apart. Bake for about 14-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly brown. Let cool about 2 minutes before moving to a cooling rack.
