Instructions

  1. Prepare the cheesecake filling by mixing cold cream cheese with granulated sugar and vanilla until smooth. Chill.
  2. In a saucepan, combine fresh blueberries and sugar; cook until thickened to a jam-like consistency. Cool completely.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, cream butter with sugar and lemon zest until fluffy. Add egg and vanilla; mix well. Gradually incorporate dry ingredients until a soft dough forms. Chill for at least 30 minutes.
  4. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Shape dough into balls around cheesecake filling and blueberry jam; roll in sugar.
  5. Bake on lined baking sheets for 12-14 minutes until edges are golden but centers remain soft. Cool before serving.
