  3. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined.

Add the blueberries
Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, taking care not to crush them.

Shape & swirl

  1. Scoop rounds of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  2. Add a small dollop of blueberry jam on top of each and swirl lightly with a knife or toothpick.

Top with streusel
Generously sprinkle the chilled streusel over each cookie, pressing gently so it adheres.

Bake
Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 12–15 minutes, until lightly golden but still soft in the centers.
