Step-by-Step Instructions

  4. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl, then gradually combine with wet ingredients.
  5. Fold in the blueberries carefully, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
  6. Scoop spoonfuls of dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each.
  7. Bake for 12–14 minutes until edges are golden and centers look set but slightly soft.
  8. Cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

  10. Frost cooled cookies generously with the cream cheese mixture.
