Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 oz (170 g) cream cheese, cold
  • 3 tbsp (38 g) granulated white sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 12 oz (340 g) fresh blueberries
  • 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated white sugar
  • 2 3/4 cups (344 g) all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated white sugar
  • 2 tbsp (20 g) lemon zest
  • 1 cup (227 g) unsalted butter, very softened
  • 1 egg, at room temperature
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated white sugar, for rolling dough

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cheesecake filling by mixing cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Scoop small portions onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze until firm.
  2. Make the blueberry jam by cooking blueberries with sugar in a saucepan over medium heat until thickened. Let cool completely.
  3. Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a mixing bowl.
  4. In another bowl, rub lemon zest into sugar, then beat softened butter and lemon-sugar mixture until fluffy. Add egg and vanilla extract; mix well before gradually folding in dry ingredients.
  5. Assemble cookies by scooping dough balls, flattening them slightly, placing frozen cheesecake filling in the center, sealing the dough around it, and rolling each cookie in sugar.
  6. Create indents on top of each cookie to spoon in blueberry jam before baking at 350°F (175°C) for 12–14 minutes.
