Giving regular sugar cookies a blueberry cheesecake makeover is a quick and easy road to dessert heaven, using blueberry chips, cream cheese, and lemon extract.

Ingredients

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 egg
1 (17 1/2 ounce) pouch sugar cookie mix (such as Betty Crocker®)
4 teaspoons lemon extract
2/3 cup blueberry baking chips (such as The Prepared Pantry)

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 baking pans with parchment paper.
2 Beat cream cheese thoroughly in a bowl until smooth. Add egg and mix until well blended. Add sugar cookie mix and lemon extract; stir until dough is well incorporated. Gently fold in blueberry chips.
3 Drop tablespoonfuls of dough 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets. Lightly pat down each cookie dollop.
4 Bake in the preheated oven until edges are lightly golden, 9 to 12 minutes. Let cool.
