Baked with juicy blackberries inside and topped with a buttery oatmeal streusel, these streusel blackberry cookies are like a blackberry crisp in cookie form!
Place butter and sugars in the bowl of a large stand mixer, fitted with a paddle attachment OR in a large mixing bowl with a wooden spoon. Mix on medium speed or by hand until creamy, about 2 minutes. Add egg and vanilla, beating well until smooth.
In a separate medium bowl, combine 1-3/4 cups flour, baking soda, and salt. Fold into butter mixture until dough is just combined. In a small bowl, toss blackberries with remaining 5 tablespoons flour and gently fold into dough along with any accumulated flour in the bottom of blackberry bowl.
Scrape dough into a ball and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate dough 2 hours or up to 6 days.
When ready to bake cookies, preheat oven to 350F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
Remove dough from refrigerator and scoop dough out into 1-inch balls. Place balls 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets.
Streusel Topping
In a small bowl, combine all streusel ingredients until crumbly. Set aside for a moment.
Bake cookies at 350F 5 minutes until cookies are slightly melted. Remove from oven and sprinkle streusel topping on each cookie, pressing lightly to adhere crumbs. Continue baking cookies an additional 7-9 minutes until cookies are puffy and topping is golden brown.
Remove cookies from oven and allow to cool on baking sheet 20 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
Notes
