Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk together cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla in a bowl until smooth. Scoop onto a sheet and freeze for 15 minutes.
  3. Cook blueberries with sugar in a saucepan over medium heat until thick, about 7-10 minutes. Cool completely.
  4. Cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add lemon zest, baking powder, baking soda, and egg, then mix in flour gently.
  5. Fold cooled blueberry jam into the dough for a marbled effect without fully blending.
  6. Scoop dough, flatten it, place a cheesecake disc in the center, wrap the dough around it, and roll into a ball.
  7. Bake cookies for 11-12 minutes until edges are golden. Let cool on sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
