Ingredients

  • 2 oz cream cheese
  • 1 roll (16.5 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Sugar Cookie Dough
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons grated lemon peel
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • Powdered sugar

Steps

  • 1
    Place cream cheese in freezer until firm but not solid, about 25 minutes. Heat oven to 350°F.
  • 2
    In large bowl, break up cookie dough. Stir or knead in flour and lemon peel until well blended. (DO NOT EAT RAW COOKIE DOUGH AFTER COMBINING WITH FLOUR.)
  • 3
    Cut firm cream cheese into 72 (1/4-inch) cubes.
  • 4
    Shape level measuring tablespoonful of dough into ball. Make 3 indentations with end of wooden spoon. Fill each indentation with 1 cube cream cheese. Wrap dough around cream cheese to completely enclose, and shape into ball. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Press 4 or 5 blueberries into each ball of dough.
  • 5
    Bake 10 to 14 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Cool 5 minutes; remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack. Cool completely. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.

Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Freezing the cream cheese makes it easier to cut into tiny pieces and place in the dough.
  • tip 2
    Fresh blueberries are best in this recipe but frozen blueberries can be used in a pinch.
