Make the Blueberry Jam Swirled Buttercream Frosting:
Note on Jam vs. Jelly vs. Preserves: Jam is made from cooked and pureed fruit, resulting in a smooth consistency, making it the best choice for swirling into frosting. Jelly, made from fruit juice, has a smooth, gelatinous texture and is not recommended for this recipe. Preserves are made from whole or large pieces of fruit in syrup and can be used in the frosting if blended and strained to remove chunks for a smoother texture. For this recipe, jam is the preferred choice for a smooth swirl in the frosting.
Cookie Size: To ensure uniform-sized cookies, weigh each dough ball to 50g using a kitchen scale. This will help you achieve consistent results for even baking and perfect texture.
Note on Milk Quantity: The amount of milk used in this frosting can vary depending on factors like the consistency of the buttercream and the humidity in your kitchen. Start with 3 tablespoons and gradually add up to 5 tablespoons, adjusting until you reach a smooth, spreadable consistency. Keep in mind that adding the jam will thin the frosting a little more.
Shortcut Option: For a quicker version, use store-bought vanilla icing and swirl in blueberry jam. Just keep in mind, the sweetness might be higher than homemade buttercream.
