Step-by-Step Instructions for Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake Cookies

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add in the egg, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice; mix until well combined.
  • Gently mix in cream cheese until smooth. Avoid overmixing.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined.
  • Fold in blueberries carefully.
  • Drop tablespoon-sized portions onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden and centers are soft.
  • Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Dust with powdered sugar if desired before serving.

Notes

Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes for thicker cookies. Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor.
