Ingredients
1 ½cupsAll-purpose flourplus 2 tablespoons; approx. 195g total
¾cupPowdered sugar(90g)
½teaspoonSalt(3g)
3tablespoonCornstarch(24g)
1tablespoonLemon zest(6g)
10-11tablespoonCoconut oil(150-165ml) melted
¼cupBlueberry jam90g
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, powdered sugar, salt, and cornstarch until well combined and no lumps remain.
Add lemon zest and stir to distribute evenly.
Drizzle in 10 tablespoons of melted coconut oil and stir until a soft dough forms. If the dough is too crumbly, add 1 more tablespoon of coconut oil and stir again.
Let the dough rest for 5 minutes to allow the coconut oil to cool slightly. This helps the dough hold its shape when rolling.
Scoop out heaping tablespoons of dough and roll them into balls. Arrange on the prepared baking sheet with 2 inches of space between each.
Use your thumb or the back of a teaspoon to gently press a deep well into each cookie. If the edges crack, press them back together gently with your fingers.
Spoon about 1 teaspoon of blueberry jam into each well. Avoid overfilling, or the jam may leak while baking.
Bake for 13–15 minutes, or until the bottom edges are just turning golden brown.
Cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
