Ingredients

Scale

For the Cookie Dough:

  • 2 ¾ cups (345g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 ¼ cups (250g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

For the Blueberry Cheesecake Swirl:

  • 4 oz (113g) cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup blueberry preserves or homemade blueberry puree

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cookie Dough

    • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
    • In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
    • Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
    • Gradually add the dry ingredients, mixing just until incorporated.
  2. Make the Blueberry Cheesecake Swirl

    • In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
    • Stir in the blueberry preserves, creating a marbled effect without overmixing.
  3. Assemble the Cookies

    • Roll out the cookie dough into a rectangle on a floured surface (about ¼-inch thick).
    • Spread a thin layer of the blueberry cheesecake mixture evenly over the dough.
    • Carefully roll the dough into a log, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  4. Slice and Bake

    • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    • Slice the chilled dough into ½-inch thick rounds and place them on the baking sheet.
    • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are just set.
    • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
