Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup blueberries
- 3/4 cup granulated white sugar
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup granulated white sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup milk
Instructions
- For the Blueberry Jam:
- Combine blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, vanilla, and cornstarch in a small pot.
- Cook over medium-low heat for 25-30 minutes until thick, mashing some blueberries halfway through.
- Transfer to a bowl to cool, covering with plastic wrap to prevent skin formation.
- For the Brown Sugar Streusel:
- Mix butter and brown sugar in a bowl with an electric mixer until combined.
- Stir in flour and salt until crumbly, then chill the mixture for 30 minutes.
- For the Blueberry Cookies:
- Preheat the oven to 350℉ (175℃) and prepare 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
- In another bowl, cream butter and granulated sugar until fluffy. Mix in egg and vanilla until pale and fluffy.
- Slowly mix in the dry ingredients until the dough comes together, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Gently fold blueberries into the dough, then create small holes for half the jam and fold it in without mixing completely.
- Repeat with the remaining jam, then scoop the dough onto the baking sheets.
- Create a small indent in each scoop and top with a heaping tablespoon of streusel, pressing down to secure.
- Bake for 12 minutes, then use a circular cutter to shape cookies further and bake for 2 additional minutes.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for at least 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
- Meanwhile, prepare icing by mixing powdered sugar and milk until pourable, adjusting consistency as needed.
- Drizzle icing over cooled cookies and enjoy!
Notes
To ensure the best consistency for the jam, let it cool completely before use.
Ensure to cool the cookies on the baking sheet to prevent them from breaking apart.
You can adjust the sweetness of the icing by adding more or less powdered sugar.
