In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing well. Fold in the sour cream and blueberries.
Assembling the Cookies
Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Using a spoon or piping bag, add dollops of the cream cheese mixture onto each cookie.
