Directions
- Make the Cookies:
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- In a food processor, blend graham crackers until finely crushed. Measure out 1 ½ cups for the dough and set the remainder aside for topping.
- With a mixer, cream together the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar, about 2-3 minutes. Then beat in eggs and vanilla.
- Add in the dry ingredients (flour, crushed graham crackers, baking soda, baking powder and salt), mix into the dough until completely combined.
- Chill dough for 30 minutes then scoop dough into 1/4 cup portions. Roll into a ball and arrange 6 onto each cookie sheet. Press down slightly on each ball, flattening until each is 1/2 inch thick then lightly sprinkle remaining graham cracker crumbs on cookies.
- Bake for 10-11 minutes, until the cookies start to turn golden brown. Do not over bake. Allow the cookies to cool.
- Make the Cream Cheese Frosting:
- Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add marshmallow creme and beat until fluffy.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing until creamy.
- Add the frosting to a piping bag or gallon sized zip top bag, then refrigerate for 20-30 minutes for a firmer frosting.
- Make the Blueberry Topping:
- Combine frozen blueberries, lemon juice, sugar, and cornstarch in a small saucepan.
- Cook over medium-high heat for 5-8 minutes, stirring frequently, until mixture glossy and thickened. Cool completely.
- Assemble:
- Pipe a generous swirl of chilled cheesecake frosting into each cooled cookie.
- Spoon 1-2 teaspoons of cooled blueberry topping onto the frosting. Chill assembled cookies 20 minutes to set then enjoy!
