Ingredients
- Dry Ingredients:
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- Wet Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Filling:
- ½ cup cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup blueberry jam
Optional: Use gluten-free flour for a gluten-free version or swap out the jam for your favorite fruit preserves.
Instructions
Step1: Prepare the Oven and Baking Sheets
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Step3: Cream the Butter and Sugars
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
Step4: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined to avoid overworking the dough.
Step5: Prepare the Filling
In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with the blueberry jam. Gently swirl the mixture to create a marbled effect.
Step6: Form and Fill the Cookies
Scoop out dough balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets. Use your thumb to create an indentation in each cookie. Spoon a small amount of the cream cheese and blueberry swirl mixture into each indentation.
Step7: Bake
Bake the cookies for 12–14 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow them to cool on a wire rack before serving.
