Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine fresh blueberries with sugar, and cook over medium heat, stirring gently. Allow it to simmer for about 10-15 minutes until thickened. Set aside to cool.
- In a mixing bowl, beat together cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy. Incorporate vanilla extract, then refrigerate to chill.
- In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Cream softened butter with sugar and lemon zest until fluffy. Beat in the egg, then gradually add dry mixture until combined.
- Wrap prepared dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to prevent excessive spreading during baking.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll chilled dough into small balls, flatten slightly, then add cheesecake filling and blueberry jam. Seal edges around filling.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until edges are golden and centers appear puffed. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes
Chill dough well and don’t overfill to prevent leaks during baking. Use fresh ingredients for the best results.
