Blueberry Jammy Cookies
Primary Ingredients:
- 2 cups (250 g / 8.8 ounces) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (230 g / 8 ounces) unsalted butter, softened
- ⅔ cup (130 g / 4.6 ounces) granulated sugar
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Filling:
- ½ cup (120 g / 4.2 ounces) blueberry jam
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional, for added tang)
Instructions
- Prepare the baking workspace by preheating the oven to 350F (175C) and lining two baking sheets with parchment paper for optimal cookie performance.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, whip the butter and sugar together until they transform into a cloud-like, airy mixture. Gently incorporate the egg yolk and vanilla extract, ensuring smooth integration. Gradually fold in the flour and salt, blending until the dough just coheres without excessive manipulation.
- Craft uniform cookie spheres by scooping tablespoon-sized portions of dough and rolling them into perfect orbs. Arrange these delicate rounds on the prepared baking sheets, maintaining generous spacing. Create a gentle indentation in the center of each cookie using your thumb or the curved edge of a spoon.
- Elevate the jam’s brightness by whisking it with a hint of lemon juice. Carefully dollop a precise amount of the blueberry mixture into the center of each cookie’s carefully crafted well.
- Slide the trays into the preheated oven, allowing the cookies to bake for 12-15 minutes. Watch for the edges to develop a soft golden hue, being mindful to prevent over-browning. After removing from the oven, let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for a brief five-minute interval before transferring to a cooling rack.
- Once completely cooled, present these tender, jam-filled treasures alongside a steaming beverage, inviting a moment of pure culinary delight.
Notes
- Ensure butter is softened at room temperature to achieve a smooth, creamy texture when mixing with sugar.
- Use fresh, high-quality blueberry jam for the most vibrant and authentic flavor in these delicate cookies.
- Create gluten-free versions by substituting all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend, maintaining the same cookie consistency.
- Experiment with different jam flavors like raspberry or apricot to add variety and personal flair to the classic recipe.
