Ingredients
Scale
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 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 flour
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of cinnamon
Instructions
- Make the streusel topping: In a small bowl, combine the butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, flour, salt, and cinnamon with a fork or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside until ready to use.
- Prepare the oven and baking sheet: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
- Cream butter and sugars: In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add egg and vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
- Mix dry ingredients into wet: Gently mix in the flour, corn starch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until just combined.
- Fold in blueberries: Carefully fold in the fresh blueberries, taking care not to overmix to prevent the color from 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 to create streaks of jam without fully blending it into the dough.
- Shape the cookies: Scoop eight equally sized balls of cookie dough and place them spaced evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
- Top with streusel: Generously sprinkle the prepared streusel topping over each cookie dough ball.
- Bake and cool: Bake the cookies for 13 to 14 minutes in the preheated oven. Once baked, allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 15 to 20 minutes as they will be very soft and need time to set. Handle with care when transferring.
Notes
- Make sure the blueberries are well dried to prevent excess moisture in the dough.
- Do not overmix the dough after adding blueberries to avoid bleeding color.
- Gentle swirling of jam keeps beautiful streaks without overpowering the dough.
- Cookies are soft when hot; allow sufficient cooling before handling.
- For larger cookies, increase baking time slightly and watch closely to avoid overbaking.
