Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until light and fluffy.
- Incorporate the room temperature eggs one at a time, mixing well before adding the 2 tsp of vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. The dough should be soft yet firm enough to handle.
Cheesecake Filling
- In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with sugar until smooth. Mix in the egg yolk and ½ tsp of vanilla extract until creamy and blended.
Blueberry Swirl
- In a small saucepan, combine blueberries, 2 tbsp sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until the berries start to burst and the mixture is syrupy.
- Stir in the cornstarch slurry and keep cooking until thickened. Aim for a glossy and vibrant swirl!
Baking
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Scoop spoonfuls of cookie dough and flatten slightly. Make a small indentation in the center of each dough ball and spoon in some of the cheesecake filling.
- Swirl a touch of the cooled blueberry mixture over the top.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until slightly golden around the edges. Let cookies cool on the sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for about 5 days, or freeze for up to a month. To enjoy warm, microwave slightly.
