Ingredients:
For The Cookies:
- 114 grams unsalted butter, room temperature
- 130 grams granulated sugar
- 1 egg, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 219 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 Tablespoon milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 185 grams fresh blueberries
- 4 Tablespoons blueberry jam
For the Streusel Topping:
- 3 tablespoons butter, room temperature
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 42 grams flour
- A pinch of salt
Instructions:
- Preparation:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Cookie Dough:
- In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add the egg and vanilla extract. Beat until the mixture is smooth and fluffy, about 2 more minutes.
- Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to the mixer. Start on low speed and gradually increase to high, mixing just until no streaks of flour remain.
- Stir in the milk just until combined, taking care not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the blueberries.
- Drop the blueberry jam into the dough and lightly fold a few times to create streaks of jam. Avoid overmixing to maintain visible ribbons of jam.
- Streusel Topping:
- In a separate bowl, mix together the butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, flour, and a pinch of salt using a fork. Continue mixing until the mixture is crumbly and starts to clump together.
- Assemble and Bake:
- Use a 1.5-ounce cookie scoop to place dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Top each scoop with a generous amount of streusel topping, pressing it lightly into the dough.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until the cookies are just turning golden around the edges.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy these luscious fresh berry cookies with their delightful streusel topping, perfect for any occasion that calls for a sweet, fruity treat!
