Ingredients
1 package sugar cookie dough
½ cup blueberry jam
4 oz cream cheese (softened)
¼ cup powdered sugar
Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Prepare the Cookie Dough: Roll the sugar cookie dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet.
-
Shape the Cookies: Flatten each dough ball gently with your fingers or the bottom of a glass, then use your thumb or a spoon to make a small indent in the center of each cookie.
-
Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
-
Fill the Cookies: Add a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture into the indent of each cookie, followed by a dollop of blueberry jam on top.
-
Bake the Cookies: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Fruit Jam Variations: Swap blueberry jam for other fruit jams like raspberry, strawberry, or blackberry for a different flavor profile.
Crispier Cookies: Flatten the dough balls more before baking and extend the baking time by a minute or two for a crispier texture.
Add Zest: Stir in a little lemon zest to the cream cheese filling for a refreshing citrus twist that complements the blueberry jam perfectly.
