Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream the softened butter, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, blending well.
Gradually stir in the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. If you’d like a more vibrant look, add a few drops of purple food coloring at this stage.
Scoop about 1 1/2 tablespoons of dough and make a small indentation in the center.
Drop approximately 1 teaspoon of blueberry jam into each indentation, then gently fold the dough over to seal, shaping into a ball.
Roll each cookie dough ball in the extra granulated sugar to coat.
Place the dough balls at least 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers are still slightly soft.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for five minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm for extra gooey goodness, or let them firm up for a chewy bite.
Notes
Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. To extend their magic, freeze the cookies in a single layer until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to 2 months.
