Ingredients
Method
Step 1: Make the Cheesecake Filling
- In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
- Mix until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
Step 2: Prepare the Cookie Dough
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Gently fold in the blueberries until evenly distributed.
Step 3: Assemble the Cookies
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough and flatten it slightly in your hand.
- Place 1 teaspoon of the cheesecake filling in the center, then fold the dough over to seal it. Roll into a ball and place on the baking sheet.
- Repeat with the remaining dough, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart.
Step 4: Bake the Cookies
- Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will look soft but will firm up as they cool.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Step 5: Add the Glaze (Optional)
- In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk or sugar as needed.
- Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cookies and let it set before serving.
