Raspberry Cheesecake Cookies + Video
Raspberry Cheesecake Cookies are soft, chewy, and fruity! The best part is that they are made with a muffin mix which makes it a super easy dessert!
I re-made these cookies along with my blueberry cheesecake cookies for the fourth of July, and took the opportunity to re-photograph them. My original image below (from 5 years ago) wasn’t that bad, but it’s always fun to update some old pictures.
It really is a shame I don’t get to make my older recipes very often. I’m always trying new ones, but that doesn’t mean I love them any less. These raspberry cheesecake cookies were just as delicious as I remember them. It’s been a while, but I’m happy I had the excuse to make them again.

Raspberry Cheesecake Cookies
These raspberry cheesecake cookies come together quickly because they start with a muffin mix! It’s a super versatile recipe. Just use your favorite flavor of muffin mix. Cream cheese in the batter makes the cookies soft, tender, and chewy.
White chocolate chips add just the right touch of sweetness and richness. Talk about a semi-fancy, high-class cookie to share with friends! Apparently these are similar to the raspberry cheesecake cookies from Subway too! Awesome!

I made these and they magically disappeared from my kitchen faster than I expected. The only thing I noticed was I ended up with 4+ dozen from this recipe, not 2 dozen as stated. Not a big deal, actually it worked out very well, since these proved to be one of my most popular cookies. Thanks!
Wow, that’s awesome! Thanks for stopping by to share your success!
I just made these, they are simple and yummy! Even the batter smells good! Tanks for the recipe!!
Yay! So glad they were delicious 🙂
My daughter-in-law made these for a cookie exchange party, and they were wonderful. I can’t wait to make them myself.
That’s wonderful to hear! Glad you liked them!
I am making these as I type! YUM! But I could not find the raspberry mix in our store so I went with the betty crocker Triple Berry Mix( raspberries, blackberries and blueberries) and it still tastes great =)
Ooh! That’s great to know I want to try that next! MMM! Glad they turned out fabulous 🙂
I’m going to a cookie bake off tomorrow and I’d love to make this! however time is running short tomorrow, would the batter be okay if I made tonight, put it in the fridge and than baked tomorrow at the bake off?
YES! The original recipe that I altered actually requested refrigeration before baking, but I tweaked it so it wouldn’t need it. Just take out the cookie dough maybe 15-20 minutes before you want to bake it so it can come to room temperature or do a test cookie cold from the fridge.
These are AMAZING! Thank you for the recipe! (found you on Pinterest)
Thanks Jasmine! We love them as well!
Can you make these with just butter? I am not a huge fan of crisco…
You can, they might spread more though, since butter has more moisture than shortening, so try adding a little extra flour & do a test cookie before baking them all.
Just found this recipe on Pinterest & I was so leery of making another Pinterest recipe because they all have turned out HORRIBLE! But I am so glad I gave it another shot…. LOVE this cookie! We are actually make it for a wedding this Saturday as an addition to the dessert table. Thank you so much!

Amber, these look so ridiculously good! Crisco makes everything better 🙂 Stopping by from Tasty Tuesdays 🙂
