3. Step-by-Step Instructions to Make Blueberry Cheesecake Swirl Cookies

Preparation of Cookie Dough

Cream Butter and Sugar

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy using your KitchenAid Classic Series Stand Mixer. This ensures a smooth, airy base for your cookies.

Add Eggs and Vanilla

Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing well after each addition.

Combine Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.

Chill the Dough

Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to make it easier to handle and enhance flavor.

Prepare the Cheesecake and Blueberry Swirls

Make the Cheesecake Filling

In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. This will give your cookies that luscious cheesecake flavor.

Prepare the Blueberry Swirl

Use Fullstar Vegetable Chopper and Spiralizer to make quick work of preparing fresh blueberries or use store-bought blueberry jam.

Assembly of Cookies

Form the Dough with Swirls

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Divide the chilled dough into equal portions. Flatten each portion onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Spread a layer of blueberry jam over each flattened dough, then dollop spoonfuls of the cheesecake filling on top. Use a toothpick or skewer to create beautiful swirls by gently dragging through the jam and cheesecake dollops, forming intricate patterns.

Bake the Cookies

Bake for about 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden. Allow to cool on a wire rack. The result will be creamy, chewy, and bursting with blueberry and cheesecake goodness.
