Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer
  • Small saucepan
  • Baking sheets
  • Parchment paper
  • Cookie scoop

Ingredients
  

Cookie Dough

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened to room temperature
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Cheesecake Filling

  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Blueberry Swirl

  • 1/2 cup blueberries fresh or frozen
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon water

Instructions
 

  • Prepare Blueberry Swirl: In a small saucepan, combine blueberries, 2 tablespoons sugar, cornstarch, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture thickens (about 5 minutes). Mash berries slightly with a fork, then remove from heat and let cool completely.
  • Make Cheesecake Filling: In a small bowl, beat softened cream cheese with 1/4 cup sugar and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy. Set aside.
  • Mix Cookie Dough: In a large bowl, cream butter with 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 cup brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes). Add egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla, beating until well combined.
  • Add Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually fold dry ingredients into wet mixture, mixing just until no flour streaks remain. Don't overmix.
  • Shape Cookies: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper. Scoop 2-tablespoon portions of dough and place them 2 inches apart on prepared sheets. Press your thumb into each dough ball to create a well.
  • Fill and Swirl: Spoon about 1/2 teaspoon of cheesecake mixture into each well, then add a small dollop of cooled blueberry mixture on top. Use a toothpick to gently swirl the two fillings together for a marbled effect.
  • Bake: Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until edges are set and lightly golden. Centers should look slightly soft. Let cookies cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Store cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days
  • Cookies can be frozen for up to 3 months—layer between parchment paper
  • For best flavor, bring refrigerated cookies to room temperature before serving
  • Fresh or frozen blueberries both work well
  • Don't skip cooling the blueberry mixture before assembly
