Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 4 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 4 oz cream cheese (for filling)
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for filling)
Instructions
- Make the cheesecake filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the 4 oz cream cheese, powdered sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy. Scoop into small portions and freeze them for about 30 minutes.
- Prepare the cookie dough: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt. In a larger bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the egg, 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, and lemon zest, mixing well. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until fully combined. Gently fold in the blueberries.
- Assemble the cookies: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Take a portion of cookie dough, flatten it in your palm, and press a frozen piece of cheesecake filling into the center. Wrap the dough around the filling, forming a ball, then place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
- Bake: Bake the cookies for 11-13 minutes, or until they’re lightly golden around the edges. Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
These cookies are best enjoyed slightly warm or at room temperature and can be paired with tea, coffee, or vanilla ice cream.
