Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups (190 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup (50 grams) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (115 grams) unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup (150 grams) granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup (50 grams) brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup (160 grams) blueberry jam
Decorative Ingredients:
- Purple food coloring (optional)
- 1/4 cup (50 grams) granulated sugar (for sprinkling)
Instructions
- Whisk flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt together in a medium mixing bowl, creating a uniform dry ingredient base.
- Using an electric mixer, cream butter with granulated and brown sugars until the mixture becomes light and airy, achieving a fluffy texture.
- Blend egg and vanilla extract into the butter-sugar mixture, ensuring a smooth and consistent incorporation.
- Fold blueberry jam into the mixture, stirring thoroughly to distribute the fruity flavor evenly. Add purple food coloring for enhanced visual appeal.
- Gradually introduce dry ingredients into the wet mixture, gently mixing until a soft, cohesive dough forms.
- Wrap the dough and refrigerate for 30 minutes at 40°F to help it firm up and enhance flavor development.
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for even baking.
- Form chilled dough into 1-inch spherical balls, spacing them 2 inches apart on the prepared sheet.
- Sprinkle granulated sugar on top of each cookie for a sparkling, crystalline finish.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until cookie edges are set and centers remain slightly soft.
- Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack for complete cooling.
Notes
- Gently fold dry ingredients into wet mixture to maintain a tender, soft cookie texture without developing tough gluten strands.
- Choose high-quality, thick blueberry jam with minimal water content to ensure intense flavor and proper dough consistency.
- Refrigerating dough helps cookies hold shape, intensifies flavors, and prevents excessive spreading during baking.
- Swap regular flour for gluten-free blend, use dairy-free butter alternative, and replace egg with flax egg for vegan-friendly version.
