Ingredients
  

For the Cookies
  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon lemon extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)

Equipment

  • Large Bowl
  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then mix in the vanilla and lemon extracts until well combined.
  4. Step 4: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Step 5: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
  6. Step 6: Fold in the softened cream cheese until the mixture is smooth. This step is crucial for that cheesecake texture.
  7. Step 7: Gently fold in the fresh blueberries and lemon zest, being careful not to break the blueberries.
  8. Step 8: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  9. Step 9: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Your kitchen will smell divine!
  10. Step 10: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Step 11: If desired, dust with powdered sugar before serving for that extra touch of sweetness.

Notes

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze the cookies in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months.
