Ingredients:
For the Cookies:
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg, room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/3 cup blueberry jam
For the Streusel Topping:
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup cold butter, cubed
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions:
Make the Streusel:
In a bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, cold cubed butter, cinnamon, and salt. Use a fork or pastry cutter to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until pea-sized crumbs form. Refrigerate while making the cookie dough.
Prepare the Cookie Dough:
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with the brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Beat in the egg and vanilla.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, trying not to break them up too much.
Assemble the Cookies:
Portion out rounds of dough and place them spaced apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Use a spoon or piping bag to dollop some of the blueberry jam onto the tops of each dough round, then use a knife or toothpick to gently swirl it into the tops.
Remove the streusel from the fridge and generously top each dough round with streusel crumbs, gently pressing them in.
Bake:
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes, until lightly golden but still quite soft in the middles.
Allow the cookies to cool completely before enjoying. These are phenomenal served slightly warm with a glass of cold milk to dunk them into.
Enjoy these delicious Blueberry Streusel Cookies, perfect for any occasion!
