Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for icing)
• 1 tablespoon milk (for icing)

How to Make Blueberry Cream Cheese Cookies

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and cream cheese together until smooth and creamy.
4. Add the granulated sugar to the butter and cream cheese mixture, and continue to beat until light and fluffy.
5. Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
6. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
7. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, being careful not to crush them.
8. Using a tablespoon, drop rounded dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the cookies are set. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. While the cookies are cooling, prepare the icing by whisking together the powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cookies.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your butter and cream cheese are at room temperature for easy mixing.
• Be gentle when folding in the blueberries to avoid breaking them.
• Allow the cookies to cool completely before icing for the best presentation.

Easy Variations

• Swap blueberries for other berries like raspberries or chopped strawberries for a different fruit flavor.
• Add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the dough for a refreshing citrus note.
• Mix in white chocolate chips for an extra sweet touch.

What to Serve With It

• A cup of tea or coffee for a cozy afternoon snack.
• Vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert.
• Fresh fruit salad for a light and refreshing side.
