Ingredients

1. For the Cookie Dough:

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour (300g)

  • 1 tsp baking powder

  • ½ tsp baking soda

  • ¼ tsp salt

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened (225g)

  • ¾ cup granulated sugar (150g)

  • ¾ cup packed brown sugar (165g)

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1 ½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats (135g)

  • ½ cup dried blueberries or freeze-dried blueberries (optional, for added blueberry flavor)

2. For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened (225g)

  • ½ cup powdered sugar (60g)

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • ½ cup blueberry jam or blueberry preserves (120g)

3. For Garnish (optional):

  • Fresh blueberries for decoration

  • A dusting of powdered sugar (optional)

Instructions

πŸ”Ή Step 1: Prepare the Cheesecake Filling

  1. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

  2. Gently fold in the blueberry jam or blueberry preserves. The mixture should be smooth with streaks of blueberry throughout. Set aside.

πŸ”Ή Step 2: Make the Cookie Dough

  1. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together using an electric mixer until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).

  3. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

  5. Stir in the oats and dried blueberries (if using) until evenly distributed.

πŸ”Ή Step 3: Chill the Dough

  1. Cover the cookie dough with plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Chilling the dough will help it hold its shape better during baking and prevent the cookies from spreading too much.

πŸ”Ή Step 4: Assemble the Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

  2. Once the dough has chilled, scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Use your thumb or the back of a spoon to create a small indentation in the center of each cookie dough ball.

  3. Spoon about 1 tsp of the cheesecake filling into the center of each cookie dough ball, then gently press the edges of the dough around the filling to seal it inside.

  4. Place the filled cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.

πŸ”Ή Step 5: Bake the Cookies

  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are golden around the edges and set in the middle.

  2. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

πŸ”Ή Step 6: Garnish and Serve

  1. If desired, dust the cooled cookies with a light sprinkling of powdered sugar for an elegant touch.

  2. Garnish with fresh blueberries on top of each cookie or serve them as they are. These cookies are great on their own or paired with a cup of tea or coffee.

Tips for the Perfect Blueberry Cheesecake Cookies

  • Cream Cheese Filling: Be sure the cream cheese is softened before mixing, as this will help create a smooth filling without lumps.

  • Chilling the Dough: Chilling the dough is an important step as it helps the cookies keep their shape during baking. Don’t skip this step if you want a more structured cookie.

  • Dried Blueberries: If using dried or freeze-dried blueberries, be sure to chop them into smaller pieces to distribute the blueberry flavor evenly throughout the dough.

  • Blueberry Jam: If you prefer a stronger blueberry flavor in the filling, you can use more blueberry jam or even fresh blueberry compote instead of preserves.

  • Freezing the Dough: You can freeze the dough before baking. Scoop the dough into balls, place them on a baking sheet to freeze, and then transfer them to a bag or container. When ready to bake, simply place them directly on the baking sheet and bake as usual, adding 2-3 extra minutes to the baking time.
