Here are the essential tools you’ll need for making the Blueberry Muffin Cookies:

• Cooling Rack: For cooling the cookies evenly after baking.
• Mixing Bowl: For combining all the ingredients.
• Whisk or Spoon: To mix the wet and dry ingredients.
• Measuring Cups and Spoons: For precise measurements.
• Cookie Scoop or Spoon: To portion out the cookie dough evenly.
• Baking Sheet: To bake the cookies.
• Parchment Paper: Prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.

Here is the full Recipe:

For the Cookies:

• 114 g (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, room temperature
• 150 g (3/4 cup) granulated sugar
• 1 egg, room temperature
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 219 g (1 3/4 cups) all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon milk
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 185 g (1 cup) blueberries
• 4 tablespoons (1/4 cup) blueberry jam

For the Streusel Topping:

• 3 tablespoons butter, room temperature
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 42 g (1/3 cup) flour
• Pinch of salt

Directions:

• Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
• Cream the Butter and Sugar: In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and granulated sugar together until light and airy, about 2 minutes.
• Add Wet Ingredients: Use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the egg and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
• Mix Dry Ingredients: Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix on low speed, gradually increasing to high. Mix until no streaks of flour remain. Add the milk and mix until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
• Incorporate Blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries.
• Add Blueberry Jam: Drop the blueberry jam into the dough. Fold the dough a few times to distribute the jam. You want big ribbons of jam, so don’t overmix.
• Prepare the Streusel Topping: In a separate bowl, combine the butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, flour, and a pinch of salt. Use a fork to mix until crumbly and clumping together.
• Scoop and Top: Use a 1.5-ounce cookie scoop to drop dough onto your prepared baking sheet. Top each dough ball with a heaping spoonful of the streusel topping, pressing it into the dough.
• Bake the Cookies: Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are still a little doughy.
• Cool and Enjoy: Allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet before enjoying. The cooling time lets the flavors meld and the cookies set properly.

Tips and Tricks:

1. Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure your butter and egg are at room temperature for a smoother dough and better texture.
2. Mixing: Don’t overmix the dough after adding the flour to avoid tough cookies. The dough should just come together.
3. Blueberry Jam: Folding the jam in lightly ensures you get delicious ribbons of blueberry throughout each cookie, enhancing flavor and texture.
4. Streusel Topping: Press the streusel topping firmly into the dough before baking to ensure it sticks and creates a nice, crunchy topping.
5. Baking: Keep an eye on the cookies as they bake. They should be golden around the edges but still soft in the center to achieve the perfect texture.

These Blueberry Muffin Cookies are the perfect fusion of soft, muffin-like centers and chewy cookie edges, packed with juicy blueberries and swirls of sweet jam. Finished with a golden, buttery streusel topping, they’re a cozy, bakery-style treat you’ll want to make again and again.
