Ingredients
Method
Make the blueberry swirl
- In a small saucepan, combine the blueberries, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, cornstarch, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until the berries burst and the mixture turns glossy and thick.
- Set aside to cool slightly.
Prepare the cheesecake filling
- In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with ¼ cup granulated sugar and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Make the cookie dough
- In a larger bowl, cream the softened butter with ½ cup granulated sugar and brown sugar until fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla until glossy and well combined.
- Stir in the flour, baking soda, and salt just until combined.
Shape and fill the cookies
- Scoop portions of dough and flatten each piece in your palm.
- Add a small spoonful of cheesecake filling to the center, then fold the dough up and around it, sealing the filling inside.
- Roll gently to make a smooth ball.
Add the blueberry swirl
- Dot the tops with small spoonfuls of blueberry swirl, then lightly swirl it across the surface with the tip of a spoon.
Bake
- Bake until the cookies are set around the edges and slightly soft in the center.
- Let them cool to allow the cheesecake center to set.
Notes
Soften the butter and cream cheese fully to avoid lumps. Ensure the blueberry swirl is properly thickened before adding. Store cooked cookies in the fridge due to cream cheese filling.
