Ingredients
  

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup fresh blueberries

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon lemon juice

Zest of 1 lemon

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

    Make the Cookie Dough: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.

      Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.

        Prepare the Blueberry Swirl: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the fresh blueberries and lemon juice. Cook until the blueberries burst and release their juices, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

          Prepare the Cheesecake Mixture: In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and lemon zest until smooth and creamy.

            Create the Swirl: Gently fold the blueberry mixture into the cheesecake filling, creating a swirl effect without fully blending it in.

              Assemble the Cookies: Drop tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie. Use a teaspoon to add a dollop of the blueberry cheesecake mixture on top of the cookie dough. Use a toothpick or knife to swirl the cheesecake filling and cookie dough together slightly.

                Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

                  Serve: Enjoy the cookies warm or at room temperature. They can be stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
