Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/4 cups (250g) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 3/4 cups (345g) all-purpose flour
Leavening and Seasoning:
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Flavor Enhancer:
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Craft the foundational cookie base by blending flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
- Cream butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl until airy and pale, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Incorporate egg and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly until smooth and uniform.
- Gently fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring minimally to prevent overworking the dough.
- Create the vibrant cheesecake swirl by whipping cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until silky and consistent.
- Delicately fold blueberry preserves into the cream cheese mixture, generating a marbled texture without excessive stirring.
- Roll out the cookie dough on a flour-dusted surface into a rectangular shape, maintaining a ¼-inch thickness.
- Distribute the blueberry cheesecake mixture evenly across the dough’s surface in a thin, delicate layer.
- Carefully roll the dough into a compact log, ensuring a tight and uniform shape.
- Encase the log in plastic wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 1 hour to solidify.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Slice the chilled dough into ½-inch rounds, positioning them with spacing on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges turn golden and centers appear just set.
- Allow cookies to rest briefly on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack for complete cooling.
Notes
- Chill the dough thoroughly to prevent spreading and maintain the swirl pattern during baking.
- Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for smooth, lump-free blending in the cheesecake mixture.
- Use fresh, high-quality blueberry preserves for the most vibrant flavor and color in the swirl.
