Blueberry Cheesecake Cookies
Description
Chilling the dough is key to keeping these cookies from spreading. Make sure the dough is firm before baking, and space the cookies well on the sheet.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
- 1-1/2 cups sugar
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1-1/4 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup nonfat dry milk powder
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- mix-ins:
- 1-1/2 cups fresh blueberries
- 4 ounces cream cheese, cubed, frozen
- 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375°. Beat butter, cream cheese and sugar until no lumps remain, 5-7 minutes. Add egg and vanilla.
- In another bowl, whisk flour, milk powder and baking powder; gradually beat into creamed mixture. Fold in fresh blueberries and frozen cubed cream cheese. Scoop dough by quarter cupfuls onto parchment lined baking sheets, spacing cookies at least 2 in. apart. Chill 30 minutes or until slightly firm.
- Bake until golden brown, 18-20 minutes. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool. If desired, dust with confectioners sugar.
