Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups (150g) finely crushed graham crackers (Plus extra for final dusting)
- 1 tsp (4g) baking powder
- 1/2 tsp (3g) kosher salt
- 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter (Softened to room temperature)
- 3/4 cup (150g) brown sugar (Packed)
- 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1 large (50g) egg (Room temperature)
- 1 tsp (5ml) pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup (150g) blueberries (Fresh or frozen)
- 2 tbsp (25g) granulated sugar
- 1 tsp (3g) cornstarch
- 1 tbsp (15ml) lemon juice
- 4 oz (113g) cream cheese (Block-style, softened)
- 1/4 cup (50g) unsalted butter (Softened)
- 1 1/2 cups (180g) powdered sugar (Sifted)
- 1/2 tsp (2ml) pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Blueberry Filling: Combine the blueberries, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until thickened, then set aside to cool.
- Make the Graham Cookie Base: Cream together 1/2 cup unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and kosher salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture until just combined.
- Assemble the Cookies: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop out a portion of the graham cookie dough and flatten it slightly in your palm. Place a spoonful of cooled blueberry filling in the center, then encase the filling with cookie dough, rolling it into a ball.
- Whip Frosting: Beat together the softened cream cheese and 1/4 cup unsalted butter until smooth. Gradually incorporate the sifted powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Beat until light and fluffy.
- Bake the Cookies: Bake assembled cookies for about 12-14 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden. Allow to cool completely before frosting generously with cream cheese frosting. Dust with extra crushed graham crackers for decoration.
Notes
Ensure the blueberry filling cools before assembling. Watch baking time closely as ovens can vary.
