INGREDIENTS

• Unsalted butter: 1/2 cup, room temperature for easier mixing
• Salt: 1/4 tsp, cuts through the sweetness
• Blueberry jam: 1/2 cup, creates the surprise center
• Vanilla extract: 1 tsp, adds depth
• Egg: 1 large, holds everything together
• Granulated sugar: 3/4 cup, for cookie sweetness
• Baking soda: 1 tsp, helps them rise
• Unsweetened cocoa powder: 1/2 cup, gives chocolate flavor
• All-purpose flour: 1 1/2 cups, forms the base
• Brown sugar: 1/4 cup, adds moisture and caramel notes
• Purple food coloring: optional, makes them pretty
• Granulated sugar: 1/4 cup, for the topping

INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1:

Warm your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cookie sheet with parchment.

Step 2:

Mix flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt together in a medium bowl.

Step 3:

Beat the soft butter with both sugars in a bigger bowl until it looks fluffy and pale.

Step 4:

Mix in the egg and vanilla with the butter-sugar mix until everything's combined well.

Step 5:

Slowly add your dry stuff to the wet mix, stirring just enough. Throw in purple coloring if you want.

Step 6:

Take spoonfuls of dough, flatten them out, put some jam in the middle, then wrap the dough around it to make balls. Put these on your cookie sheet.

Step 7:

Dust sugar over the cookies and bake them 10-12 minutes until the edges feel firm but middles stay soft.

Step 8:

Let them sit on the tray a couple minutes, then move them to a cooling rack to finish cooling.

Serving and Storage Tips

• These taste best when they're still warm and the jam's all gooey. Try them with cold milk for the full experience.
• Keep any extras in a sealed container at room temp and they'll last about 3 days.

Helpful Notes

• Toss in some blueberry extract to really pump up that berry flavor.
• Want cookies with more bite? Just bake them 1-2 minutes longer.

Tips from Well-Known Chefs

• Chef Tip: Your butter should be soft but not melty for the best dough texture.
• Chef Tip: Pop your dough in the fridge for 15 minutes before baking if you want chewier cookies.
