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)
For the Cheesecake Filling:
4 oz cream cheese
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:
In a bowl, mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Scoop into small portions and place on parchment paper. Freeze for 30 minutes.
Make the Cookie Dough:
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt.
In another bowl, cream butter, cream cheese, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
Add egg, vanilla extract, and lemon zest, mixing well.
Gradually add dry ingredients and mix until combined. Fold in blueberries gently.
Assemble the Cookies:
Scoop dough, flatten slightly, place a frozen cheesecake filling in the center, and cover with more dough. Seal edges.
Bake:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place cookies on a lined baking sheet and bake for 11–13 minutes until lightly golden.
Cool & Serve:
Let cookies cool before serving to allow the cheesecake center to set.
Notes
Freeze filling well to make assembling easier.
Handle dough gently to avoid crushing blueberries.
Cookies may look soft when removed but will firm up as they cool.
Use fresh blueberries for less moisture, or frozen (do not thaw).
