Preparation
- In a medium bowl, beat together cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Scoop the mixture into small dollops and freeze for at least 1 hour.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine fresh blueberries and granulated sugar. Mash the blueberries and cook for about 5-7 minutes until thickened. Cool completely in the fridge.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper. Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
- In another bowl, cream together softened butter, lemon zest, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing well.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mix to the wet mixture, folding gently until just combined.
- Divide the dough in half. Fold the cooled blueberry jam into one half of the dough, keeping some visible swirls.
- Scoop about 2 tablespoons of cookie dough, flatten slightly, place a frozen cheesecake filling dollop in the center, and wrap the dough around it.
- Roll in granulated sugar before placing on baking sheets. Bake for about 11-12 minutes, until edges are set.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
