Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries (plus more for topping)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
How to Make Blueberry Cream Cookie Stack
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, being careful not to crush them.
- Drop heaping tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cookies cool, prepare the cream cheese frosting. In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Add the heavy cream and lemon juice, and continue to beat until creamy and spreadable.
- Once the cookies are completely cool, spread a generous layer of cream cheese frosting on the top of each cookie. Stack two to three cookies on top of each other for a delightful layered effect.
- Top each stack with additional fresh blueberries for garnish and serve.
Tips for the Best Results
- Ensure the butter is at room temperature for easy creaming with sugars.
- Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor and texture.
- Allow cookies to cool completely before frosting to prevent melting.
- For a touch of zest, consider adding lemon or orange zest to the frosting.
Easy Variations
- Substitute half of the blueberries with raspberries or blackberries for a mixed berry version.
- Add a pinch of cinnamon to the cookie dough for a warm flavor twist.
- For a nutty crunch, fold in 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans with the blueberries.
What to Serve With It
- A scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast in temperature.
- A drizzle of chocolate sauce for an extra indulgent treat.
- Fresh whipped cream to enhance the creamy texture of the frosting.
- A cup of coffee or tea to balance the sweetness of the cookies.
