👩🍳 Instructions
1. Make the Streusel
- Combine the flour, brown sugar, cold butter cubes, cinnamon, and salt.
- Cut the butter into the dry mixture using a fork or pastry cutter until crumbly with pea-sized pieces.
- Chill the mixture while you make the cookie dough.
2. Prepare the Cookie Dough
- Cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture becomes fluffy (about 2–3 minutes).
- Mix in the egg and vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the butter mixture just until everything is incorporated.
3. Add the Blueberries
- Carefully fold in the fresh blueberries, trying not to break them.
4. Shape & Swirl
- Drop scoops of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment.
- Add a small spoonful of blueberry jam to the top of each scoop and gently swirl it with a knife or toothpick.
5. Add the Streusel
- Generously sprinkle the chilled streusel over each cookie, pressing lightly so it sticks.
6. Bake
- Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 12–15 minutes, until the tops turn slightly golden but the centers remain soft.
7. Cool & Enjoy
- Let the cookies cool completely before serving.
- They’re especially wonderful warm, paired with a cold glass of milk or your favorite hot drink.
