1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
½ cup powdered sugar
½ cup fresh blueberries
1 tablespoon cornstarch
Instructions
- In a small bowl, toss the blueberries with cornstarch and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture, beating until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Gently fold the blueberries into the cookie dough, being careful not to crush them.
- Scoop a tablespoon of dough, flatten it slightly, and place a small amount of the cream cheese filling in the center. Top with another small scoop of dough and seal the edges to form a cookie.
- Place the cookies on a lined baking sheet and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
