Soft, bakery-style cookies with a rich cheesecake flavor and sweet blueberry swirls. These cookies are tender in the center, slightly crisp on the edges, and packed with fruity flavor in every bite.
📝 Ingredients
1 large egg
¼ cup blueberry jam
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¾ cup brown sugar, packed
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1½ cups all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt
4 oz cream cheese, softened
Optional:
Extra blueberry jam for swirling
👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
2️⃣ Cream Butter and Sugar
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and brown sugar together until the mixture becomes light and creamy. This usually takes 2–3 minutes.
3️⃣ Add the Wet Ingredients
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl and mix until smooth and fully combined.
In a separate small bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth, then fold it gently into the cookie mixture.
4️⃣ Combine the Dry Ingredients
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until a soft cookie dough forms.
5️⃣ Add the Blueberry Swirl
Spoon small dollops of blueberry jam onto the dough and gently swirl it through using a spoon or spatula. Avoid overmixing so the swirls stay visible.
6️⃣ Shape the Cookies
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
7️⃣ Bake
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden while the centers remain soft.
8️⃣ Cool and Serve
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
