Ingredients
For the Cheesecake Filling:
-
4 oz cream cheese, softened
-
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
-
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Blueberry Swirl:
-
1/4 cup blueberry jam or preserves
For the Cookie Dough:
-
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
-
3/4 cup granulated sugar
-
1 large egg
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
-
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
-
1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
-
Make the cheesecake filling: In a small bowl, mix cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Set aside.
-
Make the cookie dough: In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla, and mix until combined.
-
In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until a soft dough forms.
-
Gently fold in the blueberry jam and cheesecake filling—just enough to create swirls (don’t overmix).
-
Scoop dough (about 2 tablespoons each) onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
-
Chill dough balls for 30 minutes in the fridge.
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Bake cookies for 10–12 minutes, until edges are set and centers look slightly soft.
-
Let cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
-
You can use store-bought or homemade blueberry jam.
-
Try using raspberry or strawberry jam for a twist.
-
Don’t overmix the swirl to keep that beautiful marbled look.
-
Store cookies in the fridge for up to 5 days.
