Tender and chewy raspberry cheesecake cookies made with cream cheese, cheesecake pudding mix, and raspberry preserves.
The raspberry preserves in these cookies can be swapped out for any other flavored preserves or even freeze-dried raspberries or other fruit.
Easy to Make Cookies
To make these Raspberry Cheesecake Cookies, the cheesecake pudding mix added to these cookies brings out the classic flavors of cheesecake and the raspberry preserves give these cookies a fruity delicious flavor of fresh raspberries.
Freeze-dried raspberries can be used in place of the raspberry preserves in this recipe using the same measurement.
It's important to use the spoon & leveling method for the all-purpose flour when making these cookies. To do this, stir the flour and then gently spoon the all-purpose flour in the measuring cup.
Once the measuring cup is full, skim off the top of the measuring cup to wipe away the excess flour. Using this method reduces the amount of unnecessary flour in the recipe and is helpful in most baking recipes.

How to Make Cheesecake Cookies with Raspberry Preserves
Preheat the oven- Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
Combine the wet ingredients- Cream together the butter and the cream cheese until smooth.
Beat in the light brown sugar and the granulated sugar. Add the egg and the vanilla extract. Lastly, stir in the cheesecake pudding mix.
Combine the dry ingredients- Combine the all-purpose flour and the baking soda.
Combine the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients- Slowly beat the flour mixture into the wet ingredients and beat just until all the dry ingredients are moistened.
Add the white chocolate chips- Stir in all but ½ a cup of the white chocolate chips. The ½ cup of white chocolate chips will be for topping the cookies before baking.
Stir in the raspberry preserves- Fold in the raspberry preserves a little at a time. Gently folding the preserves in will help them stay thick and will also spread the preserves throughout the batter.
Scoop the cookie dough- Using a #30 cookie scoop or by dropping by 2 tablespoonsful onto the parchment paper lined cookie sheet.
Flatten the cookies- Using the back of a spoon, press the cookies down to help spread them out as they will puff up while baking.
Top with remaining chocolate chips- Decorate the top of the cookie dough with the remaining white chocolate chips.
Bake the cookies- Bake the cookie sheets one at a time for 13-15 minutes or until the bottoms are slightly browned.
Transfer the cookies to a cooling rack- Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack. Store in an airtight container.
