Description

These soft and chewy cookies are swirled with a luscious mix of sweet blueberry preserves and creamy cheesecake, creating a bakery-style treat in under 30 minutes. No chilling required—just mix, swirl, and bake!


Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened

  • ¾ cup granulated sugar

  • 1 large egg

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour

  • ½ tsp baking powder

  • ¼ tsp salt

  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened

  • ⅓ cup blueberry preserves or jam


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

  3. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.

  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms.

  5. In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth.

  6. Gently fold the cream cheese and blueberry preserves into the cookie dough, swirling lightly to create a marbled effect. Do not overmix.

  7. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

  8. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.

  9. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Do not over-swirl the blueberry and cream cheese; visible streaks give the cookies their signature look.

Add a bit of lemon zest to the dough for a bright citrus twist.

These cookies freeze well—store in an airtight container for up to 1 month.
