- 1 1/4 Cups Packed Brown Sugar
- 1/4 Cup Sugar
- 2 Large Eggs (Room Temp)
- 2 Tsp Vanilla

- 1 Tsp Baking Soda

Cheesecake Filling
Crumble
Instructions
- Begin by making your cheesecake filling. The cream cheese must be room temp. In a stand mixer or handheld mixer beat the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until smooth for about 3 to 5 minutes.
- On parchment paper drop 1/2 Tablespoon dallops of cheesecake filling and freeze for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Next cut butter into cubes. In a heavy saucepan heat butter over Medium heat to begin the browning process. Stir constantly until the butter begins to turn into a golden brown color. It will be foamy and that is ok. Once the butter has reached that beautiful golden brown color remove from heat and place it on a heat safe bowl to cool.
- While your butter cools sift your dry ingredients and make your crumble by softening the butter and then adding the flour, sugar, cinnamon and salt and with a hand mixer mix until combined well.
- Once your brown butter has cooled in a large bowl combine your brown butter and sugars and whisk until combined.
- Add eggs and vanilla and whisk until combined.
- Add your sifted dry ingredients into the wet mixture and fold until just combined. Do not over mix.
- Coat your blueberries with 2 tsp of flour. Add blueberries and gently fold until combined. Do not over mix.
- Cookies need to be baked right away this dough does not refrigerate well.
- Drop the dough by 1/4 cup balls or use an ice cream scoop. Flatten the cookie dough and place a dallop of cheesecake filling in the center. Wrap the cookie dough around the cheesecake filling closing it out. Cover the top of each cookie with crumble and add a couple more blueberries on top. Bake 6 at a time in a large cookie sheet.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes until golden brown on the bottom.
- When cookies are ready you can fix the shape with a large round cookie cutter or a big measuring cup.(Videos on my insta for reference)
- When you fix the shape of your cookies if you choose to its totally optional add more crumble to the top! .
TIPS
- Cookies will look a little undone once taken out they will finish baking in the baking sheet out of the oven. Allow them to cool completely to set.
- Make sure your blueberries are dry before coating them with flour and adding them to the cookie dough.
