Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients:

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Filling:

  • ½ cup cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup blueberry jam

Optional:

  • Substitute all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour for a gluten-free version.
  • Swap blueberry jam for your favorite fruit preserves.

Instructions

Step1: Prepare the Oven and Baking Sheets
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step3: Cream the Butter and Sugars
Beat softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly.

Step4: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined to avoid overworking the dough.

Step5: Prepare the Filling
In a small bowl, mix softened cream cheese and blueberry jam. Swirl gently to create a marbled effect.

Step6: Form and Fill the Cookies
Scoop dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets. Use your thumb to create an indentation in each cookie. Fill each with the cream cheese and blueberry mixture.

Step7: Bake
Bake for 12–14 minutes until the edges turn golden. Cool completely on a wire rack before serving.

Notes

  • Use high-quality blueberry jam for the richest flavor.
  • Chill the dough for 30 minutes to prevent excess spreading.
  • Add a teaspoon of lemon zest for a tangier filling.
