Ingredients
Scale
- For the Cookie Dough:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- For the Blueberry Swirl:
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet mixture until just combined.
- In a small saucepan, combine the blueberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until the blueberries burst and the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Let it cool slightly.
- In another bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Gently fold in the blueberry mixture.
- Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, then swirl in the blueberry cream cheese mixture on top.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
