Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- ½ cup fresh blueberries
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and cornstarch. Set aside.
- In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, and mix until well combined.
- Beat in the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the fresh blueberries.
- Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the cookies are set.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For an extra burst of blueberry flavor, you can add a few more blueberries to the dough before baking.
- If you prefer a thicker cream cheese center, you can freeze the cream cheese filling in small balls and place them in the middle of the cookies before baking.
