πΈ Ingredients:
πͺ For the Cookie Dough:
βοΈ 2 ΒΌ cups all-purpose flour π
βοΈ Β½ teaspoon baking soda π§
βοΈ Β½ teaspoon salt π§
βοΈ ΒΎ cup unsalted butter, softened π§
βοΈ ΒΎ cup granulated sugar π
βοΈ Β½ cup light brown sugar, packed π―

βοΈ ΒΌ cup powdered sugar π
βοΈ Β½ teaspoon vanilla extract π¨
π§ For the Blueberry Swirl:
βοΈ Β½ cup blueberry jam (store-bought or homemade) π«
πΈ Directions:
1οΈβ£ Prepare the Dough:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. π
In a large bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffyβabout two minutes of sweet, creamy magic. π―
Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth. π₯π¨
Slowly add the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. πͺ
Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes. βοΈ
2οΈβ£ Make the Cheesecake Filling:
In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. π§ππ¨
Try not to eat it straight from the bowl (but itβs tempting). π
3οΈβ£ Swirl That Blueberry Goodness:
Warm the blueberry jam slightly to loosen it up. You want it spreadable, not runny. π«
4οΈβ£ Assemble the Cookies:
Scoop out a tablespoon of cookie dough and flatten it slightly. πͺ
Add a small dollop of cheesecake filling and a drizzle of blueberry jam. π§π«
Top with another small piece of dough and seal the edges, rolling gently into a ball. πͺ
Try to keep your hands clean, but hey, itβs all part of the fun! π€ͺ
5οΈβ£ Bake to Perfection:
Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. π½οΈ
Place cookies a couple of inches apart and bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden. π°οΈ
Let them cool for a few minutes before diving in. π
6οΈβ£ Enjoy (or Hide Them for Yourself):
These cookies are best enjoyed slightly warm, when the cheesecake is still soft, and the blueberry swirl melts into every bite. πͺπ
If you manage to save any for later, store them in an airtight container in the fridge. βοΈπͺ
