For the streusel

Method
 

Make the streusel

Prepare the cookie dough
  1. Beat the softened butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy for 2-3 minutes.
  2. Mix in the egg and vanilla.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined.
Add the blueberries
  1. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries.
Shape and swirl
  1. Scoop rounds of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Add a dollop of blueberry jam on top of each and swirl lightly.
Top with streusel
  1. Sprinkle the chilled streusel over each cookie.
Bake
  1. Bake at 375°F for 12-15 minutes, until lightly golden but still soft in the centers.
Cool and enjoy
  1. Allow the cookies to cool completely before serving.
