Instructions
- In a medium bowl, beat together the cold cream cheese, 3 tbsp granulated sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine fresh blueberries and 1/4 cup sugar. Cook until the blueberries have burst and mixture thickens, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In another large bowl, cream the softened butter and 1 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg, lemon zest, and 2 tsp vanilla, mixing well.
- Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until combined.
- Scoop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, making a small indentation in the center of each cookie to fill with cheesecake mixture and blueberry jam.
- Fill each indentation with a small spoonful of cheesecake filling and a little blueberry jam.
- Roll each cookie dough ball in the remaining granulated sugar and place them back on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, until lightly golden. Let cool before serving.
