Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- Optional: powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Start by blending the blueberries with a little sugar in a food processor or blender until smooth. Set aside. For a chunkier texture, mash blueberries with a fork instead.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture until well combined.
- In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with a couple of tablespoons of sugar until smooth. This will be used for the swirl effect.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Take about two tablespoons of cookie dough, flatten slightly, and place on the baking sheet.
- Add a teaspoon of blueberry filling in the center, then top with another spoonful of dough, sealing the edges.
- Drop small spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture onto the dough, then use a toothpick or knife to swirl the cheesecake into the blueberry filling for marbled patterns.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes or until golden around the edges. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.
Notes
- Ensure blueberries are ripe for the best flavor—adjust sweetness accordingly if using fresh berries.
- For vegan or gluten-free versions, substitute ingredients as needed: plant-based butter and eggs, gluten-free flour blends.
- Cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature or refrigerated for up to a week.
- Freeze cookies in a sealed container for up to a month for longer storage.
- Thaw frozen cookies at room temperature before serving for optimal texture and flavor.
