Delightful cookies filled with creamy cheesecake and bursting with lemon and blueberry flavors.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in another bowl. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture.
- Stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice, and blueberries until just combined.
- Beat together the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy for the cheesecake filling.
- Scoop a tablespoon of cookie dough, flatten it, and place a small dollop of cheesecake filling in the center. Encase the filling with the dough and reshape it into a ball.

- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

For a different flavor, try using lime or orange instead of lemon.
