Equipment

Ingredients

  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest plus extra for garnish
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

Instructions

  • Beat the softened butter until smooth and creamy.
  • Add the brown sugar to the butter.
  • Mix until well combined.
  • In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
  • Add the cream cheese mixture to the butter mixture.
  • Whisk until smooth and fully incorporated.
  • Add the flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix until a soft cookie dough forms.
  • Stir until the dough comes together and no dry flour remains.
  • Add the lemon juice and mix until incorporated.
  • Add the blueberries and extra lemon zest.
  • Gently fold the blueberries into the dough without crushing them.
  • Scoop portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on a lined baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
  • Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Serve the cookies once cooled and enjoy their soft lemon cheesecake flavor with bursts of juicy blueberries.
