- 1 1/3 cups (165 grams) all-purpose flour

- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Frosting
- 4 ounces (113 grams) cream cheese, room temperature
- 2 tablespoons (28 grams) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1/2 cup (60 grams) powdered sugar

Instructions
Cookie
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a medium bowl until combined.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, then mix until incorporated.
- Add the flour, graham cracker crumbs, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Mix just until no flour pockets remain.
- Scoop ¼ cup portions of dough, roll each into a ball, and gently flatten to about ½ inch thick on your prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 9 minutes — they’ll look just barely set.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Frosting
- Whip the cream cheese and butter together in a medium bowl until smooth and well combined.
- Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Beat for 3 minutes until light and fluffy.
- If you’re piping, transfer the frosting to a piping bag fitted with a large round tip.
Assembly
- Pipe or spread a generous layer of frosting on each cooled cookie.
- Spoon a layer of blueberry jam over the frosting.
- Sprinkle the crushed graham crackers over the top, or dip the frosted edge into the crumbs for a cleaner look.
