Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup blueberry jam
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
Binding Ingredients:
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Extra granulated sugar for coating
Instructions
- Prepare the oven at 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for optimal cookie performance.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, transform butter and sugar into a cloud-like, airy mixture through vigorous creaming until texture becomes supremely light and voluminous.
- Incorporate egg and vanilla extract, blending thoroughly to create a smooth, cohesive base for the cookie dough.
- Separately, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt to ensure even distribution of dry ingredients.
- Gently integrate dry ingredients into the butter mixture, stirring until just combined to maintain a tender cookie texture.
- Craft delicate dough spheres approximately 1-inch in diameter, creating a gentle indentation to nestle a dollop of vibrant blueberry jam at the center.
- Carefully envelop the jam within the dough, reshaping into a perfect round that completely conceals the fruity center.
- Generously coat each cookie ball with a sparkling layer of granulated sugar, ensuring complete coverage for a crystalline exterior.
- Arrange sugar-coated cookies on the prepared baking sheet, maintaining adequate spacing for expansion.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until edges transform into a golden-brown hue, signaling perfect doneness. Transfer to a wire rack and allow cookies to cool completely, letting the jam settle and flavors meld.
Notes
- Use room temperature butter for the smoothest, most even creaming process with the sugar.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before forming cookies to prevent spreading and maintain a perfect shape.
- Opt for fresh or homemade blueberry jam for an intense, authentic fruit flavor that elevates the entire cookie.
- Swap jam with other fruit preserves like raspberry or strawberry for delightful flavor variations that keep the recipe exciting.
