Ingredients
- For the cookies
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons milk
- For the filling
- ⅓ cup blueberry jam (seedless preferred)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- Cream butter and sugar: In a large bowl, beat softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Add wet ingredients: Beat in egg and vanilla extract until combined. Add milk and mix until smooth.
- Combine: Gradually fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients until just combined. Don’t overmix.
- Shape cookies: Scoop 1½ tablespoon portions of dough and roll into balls. Press your thumb into the center to create a deep well.
- Fill: Spoon about 1 teaspoon of blueberry jam into each well. Top with a small piece of dough and gently seal the edges to cover the jam completely.
- Bake: Place cookies 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Bake for 11-13 minutes until edges are set but centers still look soft.
- Cool: Let cookies cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
