Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup blueberry jam or preserves
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in egg and vanilla extract until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- In another bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Roll out half of the cookie dough on a floured surface into a rectangle.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the dough, then spread blueberry jam on top.
- Roll the dough tightly into a log, then slice into 1/2-inch thick cookies.
- Place cookies on prepared baking sheets and bake for 12-15 minutes or until edges are lightly golden.
- Allow cookies to cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
Notes
For best results, chill the dough log for 30 minutes before slicing to prevent spreading. Use high-quality blueberry jam for a richer flavor. Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
