Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup powdered sugar (for icing)
• 2 tablespoons 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 mixing bowl, cream together the softened cream cheese, unsalted butter, and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy.
3. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
6. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, being careful not to crush them.
7. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly undercooked, but they will firm up as they cool.
9. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them 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 and top with additional fresh blueberries if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your cream cheese and butter are at room temperature for easier mixing.
• Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor; frozen blueberries can be used but may make the dough wetter.
• Don’t overmix the dough once you add the flour to keep the cookies tender.

Easy Variations

• Substitute lemon zest for a zesty twist.
• Add chopped nuts for extra texture.
• Use a different type of berry, such as raspberries or blackberries, for a different flavor profile.

What to Serve With It

• A cup of tea or coffee for a cozy pairing.
• Fresh fruit salad for a light side.
• Vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert experience.
• Whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.
