Ingredients for Blueberry-Lemon Cream Cheese Mookies
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil, plus more for the pans
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 large egg
- 1/3 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
- 4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1/4 cup mascarpone cheese
- 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar
- Grated zest of 1/2 lemon
- 15 vanilla wafer cookies
- 3 to 4 tablespoons blueberry jam
Directions for Blueberry-Lemon Cream Cheese Mookies
- Make the muffins: Preheat the oven to 350˚. Brush 20 muffin cups with vegetable oil (use two 12-cup muffin pans). Whisk the flour, granulated sugar, salt and baking powder in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg until smooth. Whisk in the buttermilk, vegetable oil, vanilla and lemon zest. Stir the buttermilk mixture into the flour mixture until combined but still slightly lumpy (do not overmix).
- Divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling them one-quarter of the way. Bake until beginning to brown, about 12 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes in the pans, then transfer the muffins to racks to cool completely.
- Make the filling: Combine the cream cheese, mascarpone, confectioners’ sugar and lemon zest in a large bowl. Beat with a mixer on low speed, gradually increasing the speed to medium high, until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Refrigerate until ready to use. Meanwhile, pulse the cookies into coarse crumbs in a food processor.
- Assemble the mookies: Remove the domed tops of the muffins using a serrated knife. Transfer the filling to a pastry bag and pipe a ring on half of the muffins. Spoon about 1 teaspoon blueberry jam into the center of each ring. Top each muffin with another muffin, cut-side down, to make a sandwich. Roll the edges in the cookie crumbs, pressing to adhere.

Categories in this Recipe
- Cookie – A cookie is a baked or cooked snack or dessert that is typically small, flat and sweet. It usually contains flour, sugar, egg, and some type of oil, fat, or butter. It may include other ingredients such as raisins, oats, chocolate chips, nuts, etc.In most English-speaking countries except for the United States, crunchy cookies are called biscuits. Many Canadians also use this term. Chewier biscuits are sometimes called cookies even in the United Kingdom. Some cookies may also be named by their shape, such as date squares or bars.Biscuit or cookie variants include sandwich biscuits, such as custard creams, Jammie Dodgers, Bourbons and Oreos, with marshmallow or jam filling and sometimes dipped in chocolate or another sweet coating. Cookies are often served with beverages such as milk, coffee or tea and sometimes “dunked”, an approach which releases more flavour from confections by dissolving the sugars, while also softening their texture. Factory-made cookies are sold in grocery stores, convenience stores and vending machines. Fresh-baked cookies are sold at bakeries and coffeehouses, with the latter ranging from small business-sized establishments to multinational corporations such as Starbucks.
- Muffin – A muffin is an individually portioned baked product, however the term can refer to one of two distinct items: a part-raised flatbread (like a crumpet) that is baked and then cooked on a griddle (typically unsweetened), or an (often sweetened) quickbread (like a cupcake) that is chemically leavened and then baked in a mold. While quickbread “American” muffins are often sweetened, there are savory varieties made with ingredients such as corn and cheese, and less sweet varieties like traditional bran muffins. The flatbread “English” variety is of British or other European derivation, and dates from at least the early 18th century, while the quickbread originated in North America during the 19th century. Both types are common worldwide today.
- Fruit – In botany, a fruit is the seed-bearing structure in flowering plants that is formed from the ovary after flowering.Fruits are the means by which flowering plants (also known as angiosperms) disseminate their seeds. Edible fruits in particular have long propagated using the movements of humans and animals in a symbiotic relationship that is the means for seed dispersal for the one group and nutrition for the other; in fact, humans and many animals have become dependent on fruits as a source of food. Consequently, fruits account for a substantial fraction of the world’s agricultural output, and some (such as the apple and the pomegranate) have acquired extensive cultural and symbolic meanings.In common language usage, “fruit” normally means the fleshy seed-associated structures (or produce) of plants that typically are sweet or sour and edible in the raw state, such as apples, bananas, grapes, lemons, oranges, and strawberries. In botanical usage, the term “fruit” also includes many structures that are not commonly called “fruits”, such as nuts, bean pods, corn kernels, tomatoes, and wheat grains.
- Lemon – The lemon (Citrus limon) is a species of small evergreen tree in the flowering plant family Rutaceae, native to Asia, primarily Northeast India (Assam), Northern Myanmar or China.The tree’s ellipsoidal yellow fruit is used for culinary and non-culinary purposes throughout the world, primarily for its juice, which has both culinary and cleaning uses. The pulp and rind are also used in cooking and baking. The juice of the lemon is about 5% to 6% citric acid, with a pH of around 2.2, giving it a sour taste. The distinctive sour taste of lemon juice makes it a key ingredient in drinks and foods such as lemonade and lemon meringue pie.
- Blueberry – See textBlueberries are a widely distributed and widespread group of perennial flowering plants with blue or purple berries. They are classified in the section Cyanococcus within the genus Vaccinium. Vaccinium also includes cranberries, bilberries, huckleberries and Madeira blueberries. Commercial blueberries—both wild (lowbush) and cultivated (highbush)—are all native to North America. The highbush varieties were introduced into Europe during the 1930s.Blueberries are usually prostrate shrubs that can vary in size from 10 centimeters (4 inches) to 4 meters (13 feet) in height. In commercial production of blueberries, the species with small, pea-size berries growing on low-level bushes are known as “lowbush blueberries” (synonymous with “wild”), while the species with larger berries growing on taller, cultivated bushes are known as “highbush blueberries”. Canada is the leading producer of lowbush blueberries, while the United States produces some 40% of the world supply of highbush blueberries.
- Dessert – Dessert (/dɪˈzɜːrt/) is a course that concludes a meal. The course consists of sweet foods, such as confections, and possibly a beverage such as dessert wine and liqueur. In some parts of the world, such as much of Central Africa and West Africa, and most parts of China, there is no tradition of a dessert course to conclude a meal.The term dessert can apply to many confections, such as biscuits, cakes, cookies, custards, gelatins, ice creams, pastries, pies, puddings, macaroons, sweet soups, tarts and fruit salad. Fruit is also commonly found in dessert courses because of its naturally occurring sweetness. Some cultures sweeten foods that are more commonly savory to create desserts.
