Ingredients

1 cup fresh blueberries

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 teaspoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 egg

1/2 teaspoon almond extract

1/4 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)

1 tablespoon milk (for glaze)

Instructions

Prepare the Blueberry Filling: In a medium saucepan, combine the blueberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Cook over medium heat, stirring gently until the mixture begins to bubble and thicken. Remove from heat and let cool.

Make the Cookie Dough: In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and remaining granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and almond extract until well combined.

Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.

Assemble the Cookies: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop a tablespoon of cookie dough and flatten it slightly in your palm. Place a teaspoon of the blueberry filling in the center and fold the edges of the dough over the filling, rolling it into a ball. Place it on the prepared baking sheet and repeat with the remaining dough and filling.

Bake: Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden around the edges. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar with milk until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cookies for an added touch of sweetness and presentation.
