Tips for Cooking
- Gentle Handling of Blueberries: If using fresh blueberries, be gentle when folding them into the dough to avoid breaking them up.
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Make sure the cream cheese and butter are softened to room temperature for smooth mixing.
- Customize: Try adding lemon zest or a small squeeze of lemon juice to the cookie dough for a burst of citrus flavor that complements the blueberries.
- Keep the Cheesecake Filling Cool: If the filling becomes too soft while assembling, chill the mixture for a few minutes to make it easier to handle.
