- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg, room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder

👩🍳 Instructions
1. Make the Streusel Topping
- In a small bowl, combine: flour, brown sugar, cold cubed butter, cinnamon, and salt.
- Use a fork or pastry cutter to blend until the mixture forms pea-sized crumbs.
- Place the bowl in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the dough.
2. Prepare the Cookie Dough
- Cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes).
- Add the egg and vanilla extract; mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients into the butter mixture, stirring just until combined.
3. Add the Blueberries
- Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, trying not to crush them.
4. Shape, Swirl & Top
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Scoop cookie dough into rounds and place on the sheet.
- Add a small spoonful of blueberry jam on top of each cookie.
- Lightly swirl the jam using a toothpick or knife.
- Sprinkle a generous amount of chilled streusel topping onto each cookie.
5. Bake
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bake cookies for 12–15 minutes, until the edges turn light golden.
- Let cool on the baking tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
💡 Tips for Best Results
- Use fresh blueberries for the best texture (frozen ones bleed too much).
- Do not overmix the dough — it keeps the cookies soft like muffins.
