Ingredients
For the Cheesecake Filling:
4 oz (115 g) cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Cookie Dough:
½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
¼ cup (50 g) brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups (190 g) all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup (80 g) white chocolate chips (optional)
¾ cup (100 g) fresh or frozen blueberries (if frozen, do not thaw)
Instructions
Mix cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla in a small bowl until smooth. Scoop ½ teaspoon portions onto a parchment-lined tray. Freeze for 30 minutes until firm.
Beat butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and creamy (about 2 minutes). Add egg and vanilla; beat again until smooth.
In another bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Add to the wet mixture and mix until just combined. Fold in white chocolate chips and blueberries gently.
Cover and chill for 1 hour to prevent spreading and enhance flavor.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop 1 ½ tablespoons of dough, flatten slightly, and place a frozen cheesecake dollop in the center. Wrap the dough around it to enclose the filling. Roll into a smooth ball and arrange 2 inches apart on a baking sheet.
Bake for 11–13 minutes until edges are golden and centers slightly soft. Cool 5 minutes on the sheet, then transfer to a rack. Enjoy warm or fully cooled.
Notes
Freeze the filling so it doesn’t leak during baking.
Use room-temperature butter and cream cheese for smooth mixing.
Handle blueberries gently to avoid coloring the dough.
Don’t overbake; cookies continue to firm as they cool.
For added flavor, sprinkle graham cracker crumbs on top before baking.
