Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 1/4 cups (280 grams) all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup (170 grams) unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup (150 grams) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) light brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 4 ounces (113 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup (160 grams) blueberry jam
Leavening and Seasoning:
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Sweet Additions:
- 1/4 cup (30 grams) powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Craft the foundational cookie dough by blending dry ingredients in one bowl, then whipping butter and sugars in another until airy and pale. Incorporate egg and vanilla, mixing thoroughly. Fold in dry ingredients gently until just combined. Chill dough for half an hour to enhance flavor development.
- Whip cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla until silky and uniform, creating a luxurious cheesecake filling. Set aside at room temperature.
- Heat oven to 350°F and prepare a parchment-lined baking sheet. Create cookie bases by portioning dough into tablespoon-sized portions. Gently flatten each piece, creating a small crater in the center.
- Dollop a precise amount of cheesecake filling into each dough crater. Add a delicate swirl of blueberry jam for vibrant color and fruity complexity.
- Carefully top each filled base with another dough portion, sealing edges meticulously to form perfect spherical cookies. Ensure no filling escapes during shaping.
- Arrange cookies on prepared sheet, spacing them adequately to prevent merging. Bake 12-14 minutes until edges transform to a golden, crisp hue.
- Allow cookies to rest on baking sheet for 5 minutes, enabling structural stabilization. Transfer to wire rack for complete cooling, allowing textures to set perfectly.
Notes
- Chill the dough for optimal texture and prevent spreading during baking, ensuring a perfectly shaped cookie.
- Soften cream cheese at room temperature to achieve a smooth, lump-free cheesecake filling that blends seamlessly.
- Use high-quality blueberry jam with real fruit for an intense, natural flavor burst in each delightful cookie bite.
- Experiment with alternative jam flavors like raspberry or strawberry to create unique, personalized cookie variations that suit different taste preferences.
