Ingredients
For the Cheesecake Filling:
4 oz (115 g) cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
For the Cookie Dough:
½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup (150 g) light brown sugar, packed
¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
1 large egg, room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1¾ cups (220 g) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon cornstarch
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
¾ cup (100 g) white chocolate chips
¾ cup (100 g) fresh or frozen blueberries (if frozen, don’t thaw)
Instructions
Step 1: Make the Cheesecake Filling
Beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
Spoon ½ teaspoon-sized dollops onto parchment paper and freeze for at least 30 minutes.
Step 2: Prepare the Cookie Dough
Cream butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy.
Add egg and vanilla, mixing until smooth.
Step 3: Combine Dry Ingredients
In another bowl, whisk flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually fold into wet mixture until soft dough forms.
Step 4: Add the Mix-ins
Fold in white chocolate chips and blueberries gently.
Step 5: Fill and Shape
Flatten 2 tablespoons of dough in your hand.
Place one frozen cheesecake dollop in the center and wrap the dough around it.
Seal edges and arrange on a parchment-lined baking tray, spaced 2 inches apart.
Step 6: Chill (Optional but Recommended)
Refrigerate for 30–45 minutes for thicker cookies.
Step 7: Bake
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Bake for 11–13 minutes until edges are golden and centers soft.
Cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before moving to a rack.
Notes
Freezing the cheesecake filling keeps it firm while baking.
Avoid overmixing the dough for the perfect chewy texture.
Use cornstarch to ensure softness and thickness.
If using frozen blueberries, fold them in gently to prevent color bleeding.
