Ingredients

Scale

  1. For the Cookies:

    • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1/2 tsp baking powder
    • 1/2 tsp baking soda
    • 1/2 tsp salt
    • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
    • 1 cup granulated sugar
    • 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
    • 1 large egg
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract

    For the Cheesecake Filling:

    • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
    • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract

    For the Blueberry Swirl:

    • 1/2 cup blueberry jam or preserves
    • 1/4 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (optional)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:
    • In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Set aside in the refrigerator.
  • Make the Blueberry Swirl:
    • If using fresh or frozen blueberries, mash them lightly with a fork and mix with the blueberry jam. Set aside.
  • Mix the Cookie Dough:
    • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
    • In a large bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
    • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
  • Assemble the Cookies:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    • Scoop out 1.5 tablespoons of cookie dough and flatten slightly. Add a small dollop of the cheesecake filling and a small amount of the blueberry swirl in the center.
    • Top with another 1.5 tablespoons of cookie dough, sealing the edges to encase the filling. Swirl a small amount of blueberry jam on top for decoration, if desired.
  • Bake:
    • Arrange the cookies on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart. Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  • Cool:
    • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra blueberry flavor, you can add fresh or frozen blueberries to the swirl mixture.
  • Make sure the cream cheese filling is fully chilled before assembling the cookies to help it keep its shape inside the dough.
