Soft and rich chocolate cookies filled with sweet-tangy quince jam and topped with a buttery cinnamon streusel, creating a unique and bakery-style treat.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup quince jam
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (for streusel)
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar (for streusel)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed (for streusel)
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until a soft dough forms.
  6. To make the streusel, combine flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon, then cut in the cold butter until crumbly.
  7. Scoop dough portions onto the baking sheet and create a small indentation in each.
  8. Fill each indentation with quince jam and sprinkle streusel on top.
  9. Bake for 10–12 minutes until set but still soft.
  10. Cool on a rack before serving.

Notes

  • Substitute quince jam with raspberry, strawberry, or apricot jam if desired.
  • Keep butter cold when making streusel for the best crumbly texture.
  • Add chocolate chips for extra richness.
  • Mix in chopped nuts for added crunch.
  • Chill dough slightly if it becomes too soft to prevent spreading.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
  • Freeze baked cookies or dough portions for longer storage.
