Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup Butter, softened, salted or unsalted
- 1/3 cup Granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup Brown sugar
- 1 Egg
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 & 1/3 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Graham crackers, finely crushed (about 7 sheets)
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1/4 tsp Baking soda
- 1/2 tsp Baking powder
- 1/3 cup Graham crackers, finely crushed (about 2 sheets)
- 4 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 4 tbsp Butter, softened, salted or unsalted
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Blueberries
- 2 tbsp Lemon juice
- 1/4 cup Granulated sugar
- 1/2 tbsp Cornstarch
- 1/3 cup Water
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine blueberries, lemon juice, granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup water. Cook over medium heat until the blueberries soften, releasing their juices.
- In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with the remaining 1/3 cup water until smooth. Add this slurry to the blueberry mixture, stirring constantly until thickened, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool before using.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Using a mixer, combine softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well mixed and creamy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing again until combined.
- Gradually add the flour, crushed graham crackers, salt, baking soda, and baking powder to the wet ingredients. Mix just until the dry ingredients disappear into the dough.
- Using a 1/4 cup cookie scoop, portion out eight equal cookie dough balls. Roll each ball between your palms, then roll in the additional 1/3 cup finely crushed graham crackers to coat.
- Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheet and gently flatten each to about 3/4 inch thickness. Bake in the preheated oven for 9 minutes. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
- In a stand mixer, whip the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy.
- Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture. Beat on high speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Fill a piping bag fitted with a large round tip with the cream cheese frosting. Pipe frosting onto each cooled cookie, then top with a spoonful or drizzle of the cooled blueberry topping. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
- For a thicker frosting, add more powdered sugar.
- Feel free to use frozen blueberries if fresh ones are not available.
