Description


Ingredients

Scale
  • Dry Ingredients:

    • 2 cups all-purpose flour
    • ½ teaspoon baking powder
    • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
    • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • Wet Ingredients:

    • 1 cup sugar
    • 10 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
    • 1 egg
    • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    • ¼ teaspoon almond extract
    • ⅓ cup sour cream
  • Add-ins:

    • 1 ½ cups fresh blueberries
    • 4 ounces cream cheese, cut into ¼-inch pieces and frozen

Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Ingredients

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Cut cream cheese into ¼-inch pieces and freeze for at least 1 hour until solid.

Step 2: Make the Cookie Dough

  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar with an electric mixer for about 2 minutes, until light and fluffy.
  2. Add egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Mix until well combined.
  3. Gradually mix in ⅓ of the flour mixture, then add ½ of the sour cream. Repeat, alternating between flour and sour cream, until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 3: Fold in the Add-ins

  1. Gently fold in blueberries and frozen cream cheese pieces, being careful not to crush the berries.

Step 4: Shape & Bake the Cookies

 

  1. Drop 1 ½ tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
  2. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the bottom edges are lightly golden.
  3. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Why freeze cream cheese? This keeps it from fully blending into the dough, so you get creamy pockets of cheesecake flavor in every bite.
  • Can I substitute sour cream? Yes, Greek yogurt works well as a replacement.
  • Dough too sticky? Lightly wet your hands or dip your cookie scoop in cold water before shaping.
