Step-by-Step Instructions
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl until smooth and creamy. Freeze dollops for 30 minutes.
- Prepare the Cookie Dough: Whisk flour, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt in a bowl. In another bowl, beat butter, cream cheese, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy. Blend in egg, vanilla extract, and lemon zest.
- Combine Ingredients: Gradually mix dry ingredients into wet mixture. Fold in blueberries gently. Chill dough for at least 30 minutes.
- Assemble and Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop dough, flatten slightly, add cheesecake filling, and cover with more dough. Bake for 11-13 minutes until golden at edges.
- Cool and Serve: Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes
Chill the cookie dough for stability and to prevent spreading during baking. Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookies and toss blueberries in flour to prevent bleeding.
