Ingredients

For the Cookies

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen

For the Cheesecake Filling

8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Prepare the Cheesecake Filling

In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

Make the Cookie Dough

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Gently fold in the blueberries.

Assemble the Cookies

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a cookie scoop to drop a tablespoon of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Make an indentation in the center of each cookie and fill it with a small spoonful of the cheesecake filling. Top with another spoonful of cookie dough to cover the filling.

Bake the Cookies

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Pro Tips

For the best flavor, use fresh blueberries when in season. If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them before adding to the dough.

Tips for Perfect Cookies

To ensure that your Blueberry Cheesecake Cookies turn out perfectly every time, be sure to properly measure your ingredients. Baking is a science, and even slight variations can affect the final product. Use a kitchen scale for accuracy or carefully spoon and level your flour for the best results.

Another tip is to avoid overmixing the cookie dough once you add the dry ingredients. Overmixing can lead to tougher cookies, while a gentle fold will keep the texture soft and chewy. Also, consider chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking; this helps the cookies maintain their shape and enhances the flavor.

Storing and Freezing

These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. To keep them fresh and chewy, place a slice of bread in the container; it helps to maintain moisture. If you want to enjoy them later, freezing is an excellent option.

To freeze, let the cookies cool completely and then place them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Once they're frozen solid, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container. They can be frozen for up to three months. When you're ready to enjoy them, simply thaw at room temperature or warm them briefly in the oven for a fresh-baked taste.
