How to Make Blueberry Cream Cheese Cookies

- In a large bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Tips for the Best Results

- Don’t overmix the dough once you add the blueberries to keep the cookies tender.
- For a fun twist, add a sprinkle of lemon zest to the dough for extra brightness.
Easy Variations

- Add a teaspoon of lemon juice to the cookie dough for a zesty kick.
- Mix in white chocolate chips for a decadent twist.
