Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries (if using frozen, do not thaw)
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional, for added sweetness)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Gently fold in the blueberries and white chocolate chips (if using). Be careful not to crush the blueberries.
- Drop tablespoon-sized scoops of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will remain soft but will firm up as they cool.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a tangier flavor, try adding 1 tsp of lemon zest to the dough.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- You can freeze the cookie dough for up to 3 months; bake directly from frozen, adding 1-2 minutes to the baking time.
