Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1/2 cup blueberry jam
- Additional sugar for rolling
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream the mixture: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter, cream cheese, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy—about 3-5 minutes.
- Add vanilla and egg: Mix in the vanilla extract and egg, blending until fully combined.
- Prepare the dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and lemon zest.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet bowl. Stir until just combined.
- Portion the dough: Using a cookie scoop, scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough and roll in sugar before placing them on the baking sheet.
- Create indentations: Use your thumb to make a small indent in the center of each dough ball.
- Fill with jam: Add about a teaspoon of blueberry jam into each indent.
- Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges turn a light golden brown.
- Cool before serving: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
Refrigerate the dough for up to 24 hours before baking. For an air fryer, bake at 320°F (160°C) for about 8-10 minutes.
