Soft, buttery graham cracker cookies topped with a fluffy blueberry cheesecake mousse. These cookies are the perfect combo of rich, creamy, and fruity—just like a slice of blueberry cheesecake in cookie form!
Graham Cracker Cookie Base
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup finely crushed graham cracker crumbs
- ¾ tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp cinnamon
- 1 cup salted butter, softened
- 1 ¼ cup granulated white sugar
- 3 egg yolks room temperature
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- Zest of 1 lemon Optional but recommended for brightness!
Blueberry Cheesecake Topping
- 3/4 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 tbsp granulated white sugar
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 block (8 oz) Philadelphia Cream Cheese, softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar (Adjust to taste)
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- ¾ cup heavy cream, cold
Make the Graham Cracker Cookie Dough:
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
In a separate large bowl, beat the softened butter, sugar and lemon zest until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
Mix in egg yolks, and vanilla until fully incorporated.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix just until combined (don’t overmix!).
Scoop 2 oz cookie dough balls (or preferred size) onto a lined baking sheet and chill for at least 1 hour to prevent spreading.
Bake the Cookies:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place chilled cookie dough balls 2 inches apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are light golden brown but centers are still soft.
Cool completely before adding the cheesecake topping.
Make the Blueberry Cheesecake Topping:
In a small saucepan, combine blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice over medium heat.
Cook for 5–7 minutes, mashing the blueberries as they burst, until thickened and jammy.
Remove from heat and set aside to cool fully.
In a bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
Add the cooled blueberry jam and mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the blueberry-cream cheese mixture to create a light, fluffy texture.
If needed, place in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Assemble & Decorate
Top each cooled cookie with a generous scoop of blueberry cheesecake filling.
Garnish with fresh blueberries + crushed graham cracker crumbs for extra cheesecake vibes!
Optional: Drizzle white chocolate or add gold leaf for a fancy touch.
