Description
Blueberry Cheesecake Swirl Cookies are soft, buttery cookies swirled with creamy cheesecake and sweet blueberry jam for a beautiful bakery-style treat. They are easy to make, full of flavor, and perfect for dessert platters, holiday baking, or anytime you want something extra special.
Ingredients
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup blueberry preserves or jam
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper
2. Cream together the softened butter and sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy
3. Add the egg and vanilla, mixing until fully incorporated
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt
5. Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and mix until just combined
6. In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth
7. Gently fold the cream cheese and blueberry preserves into the dough, swirling lightly with a spatula without overmixing so the ribbons stay visible
8. Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop dough onto the baking sheet, spacing cookies about 2 inches apart
9. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden
10. Let the cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely
Notes
Do not overmix after adding the cream cheese and blueberry preserves or the swirl pattern will disappear
For neater cookies, chill the dough for 15 to 20 minutes before scooping
Use full-fat cream cheese for the best flavor and texture
Store cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days
