Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ¼ cups (280g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup (170g) unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup (60g) powdered sugar
- 1 cup (150g) fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Soften butter and cream cheese. Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Rinse and dry blueberries.
- In a large bowl, cream softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes). Add egg and vanilla extract, beating until incorporated.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Fold fresh blueberries gently into cookie dough.
- Scoop about 2 tablespoons of cookie dough onto prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
- Drop about 1 teaspoon of cheesecake mixture on top of each dough ball. Using a toothpick or skewer, gently swirl the cream cheese into the dough to create marbled patterns.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes until edges are golden but centers still look slightly soft. Watch closely starting at 11 minutes.
- Let cookies cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Notes
Use room temperature ingredients for best texture. Do not overmix dough to keep cookies tender. Fresh blueberries preferred over frozen to avoid sogginess. Chill dough if too soft. Swirl cream cheese gently for pretty marbling. Watch baking time closely to keep cookies soft.
