These soft blueberry cheesecake cookies have a creamy surprise in the middle—frozen cream cheese that melts into a gooey, tangy center!

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.
