Ingredients
Cookie Base
- 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 cups 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
- 1 to 1.5 tbsp blueberry jam
Streusel Topping
- 3 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of cinnamon
Instructions
- Make the streusel topping: Using a fork or your fingers, combine the butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, flour, salt, and cinnamon in a small bowl until the mixture is crumbly. Set aside until ready to top the cookies.
- Preheat the oven and prepare baking sheet: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Cream butter and sugars: In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and creamy in texture.
- Add egg and vanilla: Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined and smooth.
- Incorporate dry ingredients: Gently mix in the flour, corn starch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Fold in the fresh blueberries carefully to avoid them breaking and bleeding into the dough.
- Add blueberry jam swirls: Drop small dollops of blueberry jam onto the cookie dough and swirl gently with a chopstick, knife, or small spatula. Swirl just enough to retain visible streaks of jam for pattern and flavor.
- Portion and top cookies: Scoop out 8 equally sized cookie dough balls and place them spaced apart on the prepared baking sheet. Top each dough ball evenly with the prepared streusel topping.
- Bake the cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 13 to 14 minutes until edges are set but centers remain soft.
- Cool the cookies: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 15 to 20 minutes before handling carefully, as they will be soft and delicate when warm.
Notes
- Use fresh blueberries and ensure they are well dried to prevent excess moisture in dough.
- The dough is soft and delicate, so handle cookies gently especially when transferring to cooling racks.
- Swirling the jam lightly ensures pretty visible blueberry streaks without bleeding the jam throughout the dough.
- Storing in an airtight container at room temperature will keep cookies fresh for up to 3 days.
- For a vegan version, substitute butter with plant-based butter and use a flax egg.
