Ingredients

Scale

170 g cold cream cheese
36 g granulated white sugar
2 ml pure vanilla extract
340 g fresh blueberries
50 g granulated white sugar
344 g all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp salt
200 g granulated white sugar
12 g lemon zest
227 g unsalted butter, very softened
1 large egg (room temperature)
10 ml vanilla extract
50 g granulated white sugar (for rolling)

Instructions

Beat cream cheese, 36 g sugar, and 2 ml vanilla extract until light and fluffy. Portion into 18 small disks and freeze for at least 1 hour.
Cook blueberries with 50 g sugar over medium heat for about 40 minutes, mashing until thick and jam-like. Cool completely and refrigerate.
Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Set aside.
Rub lemon zest into 200 g sugar until fragrant. Cream with softened butter until fluffy, then add egg and vanilla.
Mix dry ingredients into wet ingredients until a soft dough forms. Chill 15–20 minutes if needed.
Flatten dough, add blueberry jam and frozen cheesecake disk, then cover with more dough. Seal and roll into a ball.
Roll each cookie in sugar and place on parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 11–12 minutes until edges are lightly golden.
Cool on baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to wire rack.

Notes

Freeze cheesecake filling fully to prevent leakage. Do not overbake—cookies continue setting while cooling. Seal dough tightly to keep fillings centered. Use fresh lemon zest for best flavor.
