Ingredients
Streusel Topping
- 3 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup flour
- A pinch salt
- A pinch cinnamon
Cookie Dough
- 1/2 cup butter (softened)
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 1 tbsp corn starch
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries (washed and dried well)
- 1 - 1.5 tbsp blueberry jam
Instructions
- Make the streusel topping: Using a fork or your fingers, combine butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, flour, salt, and cinnamon together in a small bowl until the mixture is crumbly. Set aside until you are ready to top the cookies.
- Make the cookie dough: Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Cream the softened butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and creamy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
- Combine dry ingredients and fold in blueberries: Gently mix in the all-purpose flour, corn starch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Fold in the fresh blueberries carefully to prevent them from bleeding into the dough.
- Add blueberry jam swirls: Drop small dollops of blueberry jam onto the cookie dough and swirl lightly with a chopstick, knife, or small spatula, ensuring not to over swirl to keep visible streaks of jam.
- Form and top cookies: Scoop out 8 equally sized cookie dough balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Top each cookie dough ball with the homemade streusel mixture.
- Bake the cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 13-14 minutes. Once done, let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 15-20 minutes as they will be quite soft. Handle with care to preserve their shape and softness.
Notes
- Make sure to dry the blueberries well to prevent excess moisture in the dough.
- Do not overmix the jam into the dough to maintain beautiful swirls and appearance.
- Use fresh blueberries for the best texture and flavor.
- The cookies are soft when warm; cooling helps them set and become easier to handle.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate to keep longer.
