Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
Binding Ingredients:
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
Topping/Finishing Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp blueberry jam
- 1/4 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for even cookie baking.
- Cream together softened cream cheese, butter, and granulated sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, using an electric mixer.
- Incorporate the egg and vanilla extract into the creamy mixture, blending until fully integrated and smooth.
- Gradually fold in the all-purpose flour and salt, mixing until a soft, cohesive dough forms without overmixing.
- Gently fold fresh blueberries into the cookie dough, being careful not to crush the berries and distribute them evenly.
- Scoop rounded tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the cookie edges turn golden and the centers appear set but slightly soft.
- Remove from the oven and allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Drizzle melted white chocolate chips over the cooled cookies for added texture and sweetness.
- Dust the cookies with powdered sugar and add a small dollop of blueberry jam on top for a vibrant, fruity finish.
- Let the cookies cool completely, allowing the toppings to set before serving or storing in an airtight container.
Notes
- Carefully handle blueberries while folding into the dough to prevent crushing and maintain their beautiful whole shape.
- Use room temperature cream cheese and butter for smoother, more uniform mixing and better cookie texture.
- Consider freezing blueberries slightly before adding to dough to prevent color bleeding and maintain structural integrity.
- Adjust baking time by 1-2 minutes depending on your oven’s temperature variation to achieve perfect golden edges without overcooking.
