# Guide to Cooking:
01 -
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine blueberries, granulated sugar, and cornstarch. Cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened and reduced, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely.
02 -
In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
03 -
In a large bowl, cream softened butter with granulated and brown sugars until light and fluffy. Incorporate eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
04 -
Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture, mixing just until incorporated.
05 -
Preheat oven to 175°C. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Portion approximately 22 ml (1 1/2 tbsp) of dough and flatten slightly. Place around 5 ml (1 tsp) of cheesecake filling and a swirl of blueberry topping at center. Encase filling within dough and form a smooth ball.
06 -
Arrange filled cookie balls on baking sheets spaced 5 cm apart. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until edges turn lightly golden. Allow cookies to rest on sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Use brown butter in the dough for enhanced flavor. Ensure blueberry swirl is fully cooled before assembly to prevent melting. Alternative berries or fruit preserves may substitute the blueberry component.
