Ingredients

For the Cookie Dough:
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
• ½ tsp baking powder
• ¼ tsp salt

For the Cheesecake Filling:
• 4 oz cream cheese, softened
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Blueberry Swirl:
• ½ cup blueberry preserves or jam
• ¼ cup fresh or frozen blueberries, mashed (optional)

Instructions

1️⃣ Make the Dough:
Cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add dry ingredients to form soft dough.

2️⃣ Cheesecake Filling:
Mix softened cream cheese with sugar and vanilla until smooth.

3️⃣ Blueberry Mixture:
Stir together blueberry preserves and mashed berries (if using).

4️⃣ Assemble:
Scoop 2 tbsp dough, flatten slightly. Add ½ tsp cheesecake and ½ tsp blueberry into the center. Swirl gently with a knife tip.

5️⃣ Bake:
Preheat to 350°F (175°C). Place cookies 2 inches apart on a lined baking sheet. Bake 12–14 minutes until edges are golden and centers are set. Cool completely.

Notes

Chilling the dough is optional but recommended—it helps the cookies maintain shape and improves flavor depth.
If using frozen blueberries, thaw and drain them before mixing into the swirl to avoid excess moisture.
For a more intense berry flavor, use wild blueberry jam or add a touch of lemon zest to the cream cheese filling.
These cookies freeze well, both baked and unbaked. For best results, freeze dough balls and bake directly from frozen.
Avoid overbaking—cookies should be just set in the center when removed from the oven. They continue cooking slightly as they cool.
To create a bakery-style look, reserve a bit of jam and cream cheese to swirl on top of each cookie before baking.
