Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Combine blueberries, granulated sugar, and water in a saucepan. Boil and then simmer for 5-10 minutes until thick. Stir in cornstarch slurry, cook for 2 more minutes, then cool.
  2. Brown the unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until golden brown and nutty. Cool slightly.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Beat browned butter with sugars, add egg and vanilla until fluffy. Mix in dry ingredients to form a thick dough.
  4. Scoop the dough into 4-ounce balls, create a divot in each, fill with blueberry compote, and chill for 2 hours.
  5. For streusel, mix brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt. Cut in chilled butter to form crumbs.
  6. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place cookie balls on trays, sprinkle with streusel, and bake for 10-12 minutes until golden. Cool on racks.
