Ingredients

Cookie Dough

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar (packed)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Cheesecake Swirl

  • 4 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Blueberry Swirl

  • 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp water

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Make the blueberry swirl: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the blueberries, 2 tbsp sugar, cornstarch, and water. Stir constantly until the mixture thickens and the berries start to break down (about 5 minutes). Let cool completely.
  3. Make the cheesecake filling: In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract until smooth. Set aside.
  4. Make the cookie dough: In a large bowl, cream the softened butter, 1/2 cup sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and 1 tsp vanilla extract, mixing until combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet until a soft dough forms.
  5. Assemble the cookies: Scoop about 1 1/2 tablespoons of cookie dough and slightly flatten. Add a small spoonful of cheesecake filling and blueberry swirl on top. Gently swirl with a toothpick or knife. Optional: use a second small scoop of dough to cover the top and swirl again.
  6. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look just slightly underbaked (they’ll firm up as they cool).
  7. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Tips for Success

  • Use room temperature ingredients for a smoother dough and swirl.
  • Chill the cheesecake and blueberry mixtures slightly if too runny for swirling.
  • Don’t over-swirl! A gentle marble effect looks and tastes best.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Serving Ideas

  • Pair with iced coffee or lemonade for a refreshing afternoon treat.
  • Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert.
  • Pack them in a gift box or cookie tin for a homemade gift.
