Cheesecake and cookie…..these words together are MAGIC! The girls at work loved these cookies, and they didn’t last long at all. I found this recipe at BettyCrocker.com. You know I like easy recipes that result in treats that look like that took a lot of time to prepare. This recipe definitely qualifies. To make the cookie dough, simply mix sugar cookie mix, instant cheesecake pudding, egg, and oil. Then, fill with raspberry jam, and top with grated white chocolate after they cool. Of course, you can vary the jam filling flavor to your taste preference. Strawberry jam would be pretty tasty too!
Raspberry Cheesecake Thumbprints
Ingredients:
1 pouch (1 lb 1.5 oz) Betty Crocker® sugar cookie mix
1 box (4-serving size) cheesecake-flavor instant pudding and pie filling mix
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 egg
1/4 cup seedless raspberry jam
3oz white chocolate baking bar, coarsely grated
Directions:
- Heat oven to 350°F. In large bowl, stir cookie mix, dry pudding mix, oil and egg until soft dough forms.
- Shape dough into 1-inch balls. On ungreased cookie sheets, place balls 2 inches apart. Using thumb or handle of wooden spoon, make indentation in center of each ball. Spoon about 1/4 teaspoon jam into each indentation.
- Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheets to cooling rack. Cool 10 minutes; sprinkle with white chocolate. Enjoy!

I just made these cookies and they are every bit as yummy as they look (and sound)! I ate my first one warm, fresh out of the oven, with a glass of milk and I ooohhed and ahhhed the whole time.
Thanks for the treat!
Where do you find the box of cheesecake flavor pudding? I’ve looked at 2 grocery stores, but no luck.
I can find it in most stores. Have you tried Super Target or Tom Thumb/Randall’s?
Delicious and easy! Serving these for a staff meeting. I sprinkled powdered sugar on top to cut the cost. Found the cheesecake pudding at a Wal-Mart. Thanks for sharing!
So glad you enjoyed them!
