🌟 Tips to Make Your Blueberry Cheesecake Cookies Even More Amazing 🌟
✅ Don’t overmix the dough:
Once you add the flour mixture, fold it in just until combined. Overmixing can result in tough cookies.
✅ Use chilled dough:
If your dough feels too soft or sticky, chill it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Chilled dough is easier to handle and results in a better texture.
✅ Softening cream cheese:
To avoid lumps, make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature before making the filling.
✅ Fold blueberries gently:
Fold in blueberries carefully to avoid breaking them and turning your batter purple.
✅ Don’t overbake:
The cookies should be set at the edges but still soft in the center when you take them out of the oven. They will continue to cook slightly as they cool.
🍪 Variations to Try 🍪
➥ Lemon Blueberry:
Add 1 teaspoon lemon zest to the batter for a fresh, zesty twist.
➥ White Chocolate:
Fold in 1/2 cup white chocolate chips alongside the blueberries for a rich, creamy texture.
➥ Raspberry Swap:
Simply replace blueberries with raspberries or strawberries for a different berry flavor.
➥ Graham Cracker Base:
Add 1/2 cup crushed graham crackers to the flour mixture to give it a cheesecake-like base.
