Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
3. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just incorporated. Cover and refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes.

Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Filling

1. In a small bowl, beat the  cream cheese, powdered  sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

Step 3: Assemble the Cookies

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of cookie dough and flatten it slightly in your hand.
3. Add a small dollop of the cheesecake filling (about 1/2 teaspoon) and a small swirl of blueberry jam in the center.
4. Top with another small piece of dough and seal the edges, forming a ball.

Step 4: Bake

1. Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
2. Bake for 12–14 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
3. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
