🫐 Ingredients
For the Cookies:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup light brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup dried blueberries (or 1½ cups fresh blueberries, rinsed & patted dry)
- ½ cup white chocolate chips (optional, but heavenly!)
- Zest of 1 lemon (optional, adds brightness)
👩🍳 Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2: Cream the Butter and Sugars
In a large mixing bowl, beat together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy — about 2–3 minutes.
Step 3: Add Eggs and Vanilla
Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Then mix in vanilla extract until combined.
Step 4: Combine the Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms.
Step 5: Add the Blueberries
Gently fold in dried (or fresh) blueberries, white chocolate chips, and lemon zest (if using).
Be careful not to overmix, especially if you’re using fresh blueberries, as they can burst.
Step 6: Scoop the Dough
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 7: Bake
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.
Allow cookies to cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
🍋 Optional Glaze (for Extra Heaven)
Ingredients:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice or milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
Whisk all ingredients until smooth. Drizzle over cooled cookies for a glossy, sweet finish that perfectly complements the tangy blueberries.
