Scale
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 4 oz cream cheese (for the cookie dough), room temperature
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar

- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 4 oz cream cheese (for the filling), room temperature
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the cheesecake filling by beating together 4 oz of cream cheese, 1/4 cup powdered sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth. Shape into balls and freeze for 30 minutes.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 1/4 cups of flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon cornstarch, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
- In another bowl, cream together 1/2 cup butter, 4 oz cream cheese, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup brown sugar until fluffy. Add the egg, 2 teaspoons vanilla, and 1 teaspoon lemon zest, mixing well.
- Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Gently fold in 1 cup blueberries.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Using an ice cream scoop, take a scoop of cookie dough, flatten it, place a frozen cheesecake filling ball in the center, and wrap the dough around it. Seal completely and arrange on baking sheet.
- Bake for 11-13 minutes until the edges are golden. Cool on the sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
Make the cheesecake filling a day in advance for easier preparation. Consider adding white chocolate chips or swapping lemon zest for orange zest for variations.
