- In a separate bowl, blend the cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- In another small bowl, combine the blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, and water and toss gently.
- Fold half of the cookie dough into the cream cheese mixture to create a marbled effect.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the remaining cookie dough onto a prepared baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them evenly.
- Make a small indentation in each dough scoop, fill with cream cheese mixture, and top with blueberry mix.
- Swirl the blueberry mixture gently into the cream cheese filling and cookie dough if desired.
- Bake in a preheated oven until lightly golden and set around the edges.
