FAQs

Can I use frozen blueberries?

Yes! Just don’t thaw them before mixing to prevent excess moisture.

It helps prevent the filling from melting too quickly while baking.

You can, but the cheesecake flavor won’t be as strong.

How do I prevent the cookies from spreading too much?

Chill the dough before baking to keep them thick and chewy.

Can I use a different fruit?

What’s the best way to get a gooey center?

Be careful not to overbake—take them out when the edges are set but the centers are slightly soft.

Can I make mini cookies?

Yes! Just use smaller dough portions and reduce the baking time.

Can I add a crumble topping?

Absolutely! A simple mix of butter, sugar, and flour can add a crunchy streusel topping.

How do I keep blueberries from bursting?

Gently fold them into the dough to avoid breaking them before baking.
