Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough
- 2 boxes Jiffy Blueberry Muffin Mix
- 4 oz. cream cheese, softened
- 1 stick “I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter” (or any butter substitute), softened
- ½ cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ½ cups white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) to prepare for baking the cookies.
- Cream Butter, Cream Cheese, and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, cream cheese, and brown sugar until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add Eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition to ensure an even texture.
- Incorporate Muffin Mix: Gradually combine the blueberry muffin mix into the wet mixture, mixing until fully incorporated and a dough forms.
- Add White Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the white chocolate chips into the dough, distributing them evenly without overmixing.
- Chill Dough: Cover the dough and chill it in the refrigerator for at least one hour to help the cookies hold their shape and improve texture.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Grease a cookie sheet or line it with parchment paper. Drop tablespoonfuls of chilled dough onto the sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 14-15 minutes or until the edges begin to turn a light golden brown.
- Cool Cookies: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 1-2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Tip for Best Results: If cookies turn out flat, chill the dough longer before baking to help them maintain their shape.
Notes
- Using softened cream cheese and butter helps achieve a smooth dough.
- Chilling the dough is essential for cookies that hold their shape and bake evenly.
- Spacing cookies adequately on the baking sheet prevents them from sticking together.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute cream cheese and butter with appropriate vegan alternatives.
