These heavenly cookies combine the sweet-tart flavor of blackberries with bright lemon zest for a delightful treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

  3. Beat in the egg yolks and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in the blackberry jam, lemon zest, and lemon juice until evenly distributed.
  6. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  8. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
