Ingredients
  

For the Cookie Dough
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 cup blueberries fresh or frozen
For the Cheesecake Filling
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, blend together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract for the cheesecake filling. Freeze the mixture in small portions for 30 minutes.
  2. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt.
  3. In a larger bowl, cream the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar.
  4. Add in the egg, vanilla extract, and lemon zest to the butter mixture.
  5. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients and gently fold in the blueberries.
Assembling and Baking
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Take a portion of the cookie dough and flatten it out.
  3. Place a piece of the frozen cheesecake filling in the center, cover with another piece of dough, and seal the edges.
  4. Bake for 11-13 minutes until golden.

Notes

Make sure to freeze the cheesecake filling long enough so it holds its shape while baking. Chill your dough if it's too soft for easier handling.
