Method
- Scoop 15 half-teaspoon sized dollops of blueberry jam onto a wax paper lined plate. Freeze for 1 hour until solid.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a stand mixer, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Then mix in the blueberry reduction until dough is vibrant purple.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet on low speed, mixing just until combined.
- Cover dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper. Place granulated and powdered sugar in separate shallow bowls.
- Take 2 tablespoons of chilled dough, flatten slightly, and place a frozen jam dollop in the center. Fold dough to seal completely and roll into a ball.
- Roll the stuffed ball first in granulated sugar, then heavily in powdered sugar. Place on baking sheet 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 11-13 minutes until edges are set and tops are crinkled. Cool on pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
Ensuring the jam is completely frozen before stuffing is critical to prevent leaking.
