Description
Delicious cookies with a creamy cheesecake topping and fresh blueberries.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 oz cream cheese, softened
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and help the cookies bake evenly.
- Add flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to a medium bowl. Whisk until evenly combined.
- Place softened butter and granulated sugar in a large mixing bowl. Beat until light, creamy, and smooth.
- Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated and smooth. Scrape the sides of the bowl to ensure even mixing.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients. Stir until a soft cookie dough forms with no visible streaks of flour.
- In a small bowl, combine cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Scoop about 2 tablespoons of cookie dough and roll into balls. Place on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one. Lightly press each ball into a thick round disk.
- Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture onto the center of each cookie. Place 3–5 blueberries into the cheesecake layer. Gently spread the cream cheese slightly with the back of a spoon.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes until cookie edges turn lightly golden.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
Notes
- Blueberries release juices during cooling and create natural purple swirls in the cheesecake topping.
- Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
