Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup unsalted butter (softened)
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- 4 oz cream cheese (softened)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp water
Instructions
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the blueberries, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, cornstarch, and water. Cook until bubbling and thickened, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet mixture until just combined.
- In a separate bowl, beat softened cream cheese with ¼ cup of granulated sugar and ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop out about one tablespoon of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Make an indentation in each scoop with your thumb to hold the cheesecake filling. Spoon about one teaspoon of cheesecake filling into each indentation. Top with a small dollop of blueberry swirl.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until edges are lightly golden. Allow cooling on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
