Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (pat dry if using frozen)
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, and mix until fully combined.
Step 2: Fold in the Blueberries
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined—don’t overmix!
- Gently fold in the blueberries and white chocolate chips (if using), being careful not to mash the berries.
Step 3: Shape and Bake
- Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough for each cookie and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden, but the centers remain soft.
Step 4: Cool and Enjoy
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack. Serve warm or at room temperature for a heavenly treat!
Notes
- Use Fresh Blueberries: If using frozen blueberries, thaw and pat them dry to avoid excess moisture in the dough.
- Chill the Dough: If your dough feels too soft, refrigerate it for 20-30 minutes before baking to prevent spreading.
- Experiment with Flavors: Add a pinch of cinnamon or lemon zest for a unique twist.
