📝 Ingredients You’ll Need

(Makes 24 cookies)

For the Blueberry Jam

1½ cups fresh blueberries (or frozen, thawed and drained)
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 tbsp cornstarch
Juice of ½ lemon 🍋
1 tsp vanilla bean paste (or extract)

For the Cookie Dough

1 cup unsalted butter, softened (2 sticks) 🧈
1¼ cups granulated sugar
1 large egg, room temperature 🥚
1 tbsp vanilla bean paste (or extract)
2½ cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
Optional: Extra sugar for rolling

👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Make the Blueberry Jam

In a saucepan, combine blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla.
Cook over medium-low heat for 10–12 minutes, mashing berries with a spoon.
Once thickened (like syrup), remove from heat and cool completely. ⏳

Pro Tip: Speed up cooling by spreading jam on a plate!

2. Prep the Cookie Dough

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until fluffy (3–4 minutes).
Beat in egg and vanilla until smooth.
Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually mix into wet ingredients.

3. Swirl in the Jam

Gently fold cooled jam into dough until marbleized (don’t overmix!).

4. Bake to Perfection

Roll dough into 1.5-tbsp balls (use a cookie scoop!). Optional: Roll in sugar for crunch.
Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are golden. Let cool on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring.

Chill dough 30 minutes if too sticky.
Rotate trays halfway for even baking.
