Step-by-Step Instructions for Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the large egg, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and fresh lemon juice to the creamed mixture and beat until fully blended.
  5. Gently mix in the softened cream cheese until it melds into the dough.
  6. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture in the large bowl, stirring gently until just combined.
  7. Carefully fold in the blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
