Step-by-step instructions

Now that you’ve gathered all your ingredients, let’s dive into the cooking process.

  1. Preheat your oven to 325 degrees.
  2. In a bowl, cream together the butter, cream cheese, and brown sugar until smooth.
  3. Add the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is blended in thoroughly.
  4. Mix in the muffin mix gradually until everything is combined.
  5. Gently fold in the white chocolate chips to distribute them evenly throughout the dough.
  6. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least one hour; this will help the cookies maintain their shape while baking.
  7. On a greased cookie sheet, drop tablespoonfuls of dough, leaving about 2 inches between each.
  8. Bake for 14-15 minutes, or until the edges start turning golden brown.
  9. Let them cool on the cookie sheet for 1-2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Best ways to enjoy it

These cookies are best enjoyed fresh but can be paired with a variety of accompaniments. Consider serving them alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert, or with a cup of hot coffee or tea to balance out the sweetness. If you’re hosting, a decorative platter with a sprinkle of powdered sugar can elevate the presentation.

Storage and reheating tips

To keep your blueberry cheesecake cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you want to keep them longer, consider freezing them. Just make sure they’re in a freezer-safe container, separated by layers of parchment paper, for up to three months. When you’re ready to enjoy, simply thaw at room temperature or pop them in the microwave for a few seconds to return that freshly baked taste.

Helpful cooking tips

  1. For a more intense blueberry flavor, you can add fresh or frozen blueberries to the dough right before baking.
  2. Don’t skip the chilling step! It allows the flavors to develop and ensures your cookies hold their shape.
  3. Experiment with different extracts, such as vanilla or almond, for an interesting twist on flavor.

Creative twists

If you’re feeling adventurous, try swapping out the white chocolate chips for lower-sugar options, or incorporate nuts for added crunch. You can also experiment with other muffin mixes, like lemon or raspberry, to introduce new flavors. Gluten-free alternatives are available as well, such as using a gluten-free muffin mix to cater to specific dietary needs.
