Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- 1 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen, thawed, and patted dry)
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional, for added sweetness)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- Cream the butter and sugars:
- In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Add wet ingredients:
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Mix the dry ingredients:
- 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.
- Fold in blueberries:
- Gently fold in the blueberries and white chocolate chips (if using). Be careful not to mash the blueberries.
- Shape the cookies:
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly soft but will set as they cool.
- Cool:
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Fresh vs. frozen blueberries: If using frozen blueberries, mix them with a teaspoon of flour before folding them into the dough to prevent excess moisture.
- Add-ins: Substitute white chocolate chips with nuts, coconut flakes, or lemon zest for variety.
- Storage: Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
