I am obsessed with cream cheese cookies, so when I noticed some fresh blueberries about to go in our fridge, I used them to make them. The combination is lovely – every soft bite is bursting with fruit.

Easy Blueberry Cookies
Like blueberry muffin tops, but better! The cream cheese adds moisture and a tangy flavor that complements the blueberries.
The cookies have the best texture. I chill the dough before baking them, which keeps them from spreading, so you get soft, thick cookies that are like a mini-muffin.
If you happen to have some coarse sugar on hand, go ahead and sprinkle some over the cookies before you bake them. It gives them a crunchy, sweet texture as you get with a blueberry muffin.
I am all about the blueberry muffins, but these blueberry cream cheese cookies are a nice change. If you have some blueberries hanging around, use them in this cookie recipe, and you won’t be disappointed.

Using an electric or stand mixer beat together the butter and cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Mix in the sugar until light and fluffy. Next, add in the egg and vanilla, and stir until combined. Periodically scrape down the sides of the bowl.
Mix in the dry mixture into the butter mixture on low until combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then mix together again. Using the same spatula, fold in the blueberries. Cover the dough with parchment paper and chill in the refrigerator for an hour.
Preheat oven to 375F.Using a cookie dough scooper, place the cookie dough batter onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure to place about two inches apart. Bake for 10 minutes or until the edges are set and the edges are slightly golden.

These cookies are really delicious. I did do a few adjustments but that is simply with my products on hand. They were a hit with everyone. Little clouds with blueberries is what what family members told me.
I added chopped walnuts. These are really good. Not too sweet, lovely blueberry squints. i also left my berries in fridge till time to fold in. They stand up better when mixing.
I love your addition of walnuts, I will try that for sure.
