These Irresistible Gooey Blueberry Sugar Cookies are a delightful treat for any sweet tooth. The soft, buttery cookie dough is filled with a gooey blueberry jam center, creating a delicious combination of flavors and textures. Each cookie is rolled in sugar for an extra crunch on the outside while maintaining a chewy, gooey center.

INGREDIENTS

Unsalted butter: 1 cup, softened, adds rich flavor and moisture to the cookie dough.
Granulated sugar: 1 cup, sweetens the cookie dough and provides a crunchy coating when rolled on the outside.
Egg: 1 large, adds structure to the dough.
Vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon, enhances the flavor of the cookies.
All-purpose flour: 2 1/2 cups, forms the base of the dough.
Baking powder: 1/2 teaspoon, helps the cookies rise and become fluffy.
Salt: 1/4 teaspoon, balances the sweetness and enhances flavor.
Blueberry jam: 1 cup, adds a gooey and sweet center to the cookies.
Extra granulated sugar: For coating the cookies before baking, adds a slight crunch and sweetness to the exterior.

INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1:: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2:: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Step 3:: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
Step 4:: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 5:: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
Step 6:: Roll the dough into 1-inch balls, flatten them slightly, and place a teaspoon of blueberry jam in the center. Fold the dough around the jam, sealing it inside, and roll it back into a ball.
Step 7:: Roll each cookie ball in granulated sugar and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 8:: Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden. Allow the cookies to cool on a wire rack before serving.

Serving and Storage Tips

These cookies are best served slightly warm for an extra gooey center, but they can also be enjoyed at room temperature.
Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate them to maintain freshness for up to 5 days.

Helpful Notes

For a different flavor twist, you can substitute the blueberry jam with raspberry or strawberry jam.
Ensure the cookies are sealed well to prevent the jam from leaking out during baking.

Tips from Well-Known Chefs

Chef Kelly suggests using high-quality jam for the best flavor. Homemade jam works particularly well in this recipe.
