Ingredients
  

Ingredients For the Cookies:

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup Sugar
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 cup fresh blueberries

Ingredients For the Quick Jam:

  • 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
  • 2 tbsp sugar

Ingredients For the Streusel:

  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 4 tbsp sugar
  • 1/3 cup flour
  • 1 pinch Salt

Ingredients For the glaze:

  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions
 

  • Preparing the cookies:
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, beat the butter together with the white sugar and brown sugar until the mixture is creamy and well combined.
  • Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix well.
  • In the same bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually incorporate these dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing until well combined.
  • Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, being careful not to break them too much.
  • Preparing the Quick Jam:
  • In a small bowl, mix the fresh blueberries with the sugar.
  • Microwave for one minute.
  • Mash the blueberries with a fork until you have a thick jam. Let cool.
  • Preparing the Streusel:
  • In a small bowl, mix the butter, sugar, flour, and a pinch of salt. Mix with a fork or your hands until the mixture is crumbly.
  • Baking:
  • Use a #20 scoop to portion the dough and ensure all cookies are the same size. Place the dough portions on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
  • Make a small indentation in the center of each cookie dough portion and add a teaspoon of blueberry jam.
  • Sprinkle the streusel over the cookies.
  • Bake the cookies for 13-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
  • Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Preparing the Glaze:
  • In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar with the lemon juice until smooth.
  • Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cookies.

Notes

  • Butter Temperature: Ensure the butter is at room temperature before starting. Softened butter mixes more easily with the sugars, creating a creamy base for the cookies.
  • Mixing Blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries with a silicone spatula to avoid breaking them too much. Whole blueberries will give a better texture and appearance to the cookies.
  • Using the #20 Scoop: Using a #20 scoop helps to ensure all cookies are the same size, which guarantees even baking. If you don't have a scoop, you can use an ice cream scoop of a similar size.
  • Quick Jam: Make sure the jam is completely cooled before adding it to the cookies to prevent the dough from becoming too soft. You can prepare the jam in advance and keep it in the refrigerator.
  • Baking: Keep an eye on the cookies while baking. Times may vary depending on the oven, so it's important not to overbake the cookies. They should be slightly golden on the edges and lighter in the center.
  • Cooling: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This helps them set and prevents them from breaking when moved.
  • Glazing: The glaze should be applied once the cookies are completely cool to avoid melting. Use a spoon or a piping bag for a more precise finish.
  • Storage: Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week. They may lose some crunchiness over time but will still be delicious.
  • Freezing: The cookie dough can be frozen before baking. Portion the dough, place it on a tray, and freeze. Once frozen, transfer to a freezer bag. Bake directly from the freezer, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
