These Blueberry Cheesecake Cookies are easy to make with just a handful of simple ingredients and topped with blueberry pie filling.
I’ve always loved cheesecake. It is so soft, creamy and has just the right amount of sweetness. I like just your classic cheesecake recipe with some sort of fruit on top. My son loves the more rich, chocolate flavors like this Chocolate Mousse Cheesecake. But, whatever your specific tastes are, most of us all love cheesecake in one form or another. So, I figured I HAD to share this Blueberry Cheesecake Cookie Recipe with everyone!
Blueberry Cheesecake Cookies
These Blueberry Cheesecake Cookies are soft, fluffy and have a consistency somewhere between a cake mix cookie and a cheesecake. They are a great option for parties, pitch-ins, potlucks and cookie exchanges. They are easy to make, easy to eat and convenient to share for large crowds. If you are looking for a new cookie recipe that is just “a little different”, these are for you!
What Ingredients Will You Need?
As I mentioned above, nothing crazy here. Just a few simple ingredients and you will be on your way to devouring this delicious cookie recipe. This recipe makes 24 Blueberry Cheesecake Cookies.
- CREAM CHEESE – Softened to room temperature.
- BUTTER – Unsalted. Also softened to room temperature.
- EGG – If possible, let your egg sit out for about an hour to also bring it to room temp.
- VANILLA – We always recommend using a high quality Vanilla Extract. It’s worth the extra money, trust us.
- SALT – Salt helps to balance the sweetness of this dessert.
- POWDERED SUGAR – Also called Confectioner’s Sugar.
- FLOUR – Any brand of All Purpose Flour will do. This will help to make the dough of the cookies.
- BLUEBERRY PIE FILLING – If you want to make your own, go for it. But we just use a can of the store-bought stuff.
Notes, Tips and FAQS
- CHILL THE DOUGH – Make sure that you chill the dough for eat least two hours. Or else you cookies will be flat!
- DO YOU HAVE TO USE BLUEBERRY? – Not a fan of blueberry? You can use any pie filling! Strawberry, Cherry, Apple or any other flavor would work. This summer, I plan on making this recipe with half the cookies blueberry and the other half strawberry. It will be a great Fourth of July Dessert Recipe!
- ADD ICING – For an a super easy icing, just mix together 1 cup of confectioners (powdered) sugar, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons of whole milk.
- HOW DO YOU KNOW WHEN THE COOKIES ARE DONE? – You will know you cookies are done baking when the edges just start to get a little brown around the edges.

Thank you for the feedback. This is how my family supports ourselves but I will take your advice into consideration. I appreciate you visiting our site to get our free recipes!
Susan says
There isn’t enough of a cheese cake taste to say that they are cheese cake cookies. The pie filling over powers the cookie as well. The cookies are easy enough to make but I was rather disappointed.
Kathy says
Sorry you didn’t enjoy them. I think everyone has a little different taste as to what they like. Thanks so much for trying them and for the feedback.
Elva says

You don’t bake the blueberry pie filling with them?
Kathy says
Nope!
Betty says
Is that flour plain or self rising? I’m looking forward to trying it. Have bunches of fresh blueberries. Will cook them into a nice filling to put on top.
Kathy says
I used all-purposed flour. Please let us know how they turned out!
Linda says
Why not try using Fromage A LA Creme extract instead of Vanilla or half of each to increase cream cheese Flavor?This is for the lady who did’nt think it had enough cream cheese flavor.
Kathy says
