Ingredients

Cookies

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup fresh blueberries

Topping

Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Make sure to use fresh blueberries for the best flavor!

Instructions

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Make the Dough

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, cream cheese, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Add in the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing well.

Combine Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.

Fold in Blueberries

Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, being careful not to crush them.

Scoop and Bake

Using a cookie scoop, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.

Cool and Serve

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar if desired before serving.

Storage Tips

To keep your Blueberry Cheesecake Cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They can last up to a week, although they are likely to disappear much sooner! For longer storage, consider freezing the cookies. Place them in a freezer-safe container with parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking.

When you're ready to enjoy a cookie from the freezer, simply let it thaw at room temperature for a few minutes or warm it in the microwave for a few seconds. This will restore their soft and chewy texture, giving you that fresh-baked taste anytime you crave it.

Variations to Try

Feel free to get creative with your Blueberry Cheesecake Cookies! You can experiment with different types of berries, such as raspberries or blackberries, to create your unique twist. Adding a hint of lemon zest can also enhance the flavor, giving your cookies a refreshing citrus note that complements the blueberries beautifully.

If you're looking for a bit of crunch, consider incorporating chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans into the dough. This adds an interesting texture and flavor contrast that enhances the overall experience. The possibilities are endless, allowing you to make these cookies your own!
