An Exciting Story

Why These Blueberry Jammy Cookies?

  • Soft and Buttery: The perfect base for any jam.
  • Sweet and Tangy: Blueberry jam adds a burst of flavor.
  • Elegant and Simple: Great for entertaining or everyday treats.
  • Customizable: Use your favorite jam or fruit spread.
  • Easy to Make: No fancy techniques required!

What You Need for Blueberry Jammy Cookies

  • For the Cookie Dough:
    • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
    • ⅔ cup granulated sugar
    • 1 large egg
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract
    • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
    • ½ tsp salt
  • For the Filling:
    • ½ cup blueberry jam (store-bought or homemade)
  • Optional Topping:
    • Powdered sugar for dusting

How to Make Blueberry Jammy Cookies

  1. Prepare the Dough:
    • In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
    • Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing just until the dough comes together. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to make it easier to handle.
  2. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  3. Shape the Cookies:
    • Roll the chilled dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
    • Use your thumb or the back of a small spoon to press a shallow indent into the center of each dough ball.
  4. Fill with Jam:
    • Spoon about ½ teaspoon of blueberry jam into each indent. Be careful not to overfill, as the jam may bubble over during baking.
  5. Bake:
    • Bake the cookies for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  6. Decorate (Optional):
    • Once cooled, dust the cookies with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.

Tips for Blueberry Jammy Cookies

  1. Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents spreading.
  2. Use Quality Jam: The flavor of the cookies depends on the jam, so choose a high-quality blueberry jam for the best results.

Substitutions and Variations

  • Different Jams: Use raspberry, strawberry, or apricot jam for a twist.
  • Add Citrus: Mix a little lemon zest into the dough for a bright, fresh flavor.
  • Gluten-Free: Use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend to make these cookies gluten-free.

Make a Healthier Version

  • Use unsweetened or low-sugar jam for reduced sweetness.
  • Replace some of the butter with applesauce for a lighter dough.
  • Substitute part of the flour with almond flour for added nutrients.
