Ingredients
Scale
Cookies:
- 1 cup butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
Supporting Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
Filling:
- 1 cup cream cheese
- 1 cup blueberries
Instructions
- Warm your oven to precisely 350F and prepare two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Thoroughly blend 1 cup softened butter with 1 cup white sugar and 1 cup brown sugar until creamy and uniform.
- Incorporate 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, mixing until completely integrated.
- Separately combine 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt in another bowl.
- Gradually fold dry ingredients into the butter mixture, creating a consistent cookie dough.
- Gently fold 1 cup softened cream cheese with 1 cup fresh blueberries, maintaining some berry texture.
- Scoop rounded tablespoon-sized portions of cookie dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart.
- Place a small teaspoon of blueberry cream cheese mixture atop each cookie dough mound.
- Use a toothpick or knife tip to swirl the cream cheese mixture into decorative patterns across cookie surfaces.
- Slide sheets into preheated oven and bake exactly 12-15 minutes until edges turn golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let cookies rest on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to wire rack.
Notes
- Softening cream cheese at room temperature helps create a smoother swirl and prevents lumps in the mixture.
- Use fresh blueberries for the brightest flavor, but frozen work well if thawed and gently patted dry.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent spreading and maintain the cookie’s shape.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend that contains xanthan gum.
