Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup blueberry jam
- Purple food coloring (optional)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar for sprinkling
Directions:
- Preheat the Oven
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking. - Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set this mixture aside. - Cream the Butter and Sugars
In a large bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream the softened butter with both the granulated sugar and brown sugar. Continue mixing until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. - Incorporate Egg and Vanilla
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract, making sure to mix thoroughly until well combined. - Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, blending until just combined. If desired, add a few drops of purple food coloring at this stage and mix until the color is evenly distributed. - Form the Cookies
Scoop out tablespoons of dough, flattening them slightly in your hand. Place a small dollop of blueberry jam in the center of each dough piece. Carefully fold the dough around the jam to enclose it, forming a ball. - Prepare for Baking
Place each dough ball onto the prepared baking sheet. Lightly sprinkle the tops with granulated sugar. - Bake and Cool
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers remain soft. Once baked, allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
