Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 ¾ cups (219 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (150 grams) fresh blueberries (or frozen, thawed, and patted dry)
Sugars and Sweeteners:
- ½ cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (110 grams) light brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup (85 grams) white chocolate chips (optional, for added sweetness)
Binding and Flavoring Ingredients:
- ½ cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the oven environment by heating to 350F (175C) and lining baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
- Combine butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a mixing bowl, using an electric mixer to whip into a creamy, airy texture for approximately 2 minutes.
- Incorporate egg and vanilla extract, blending thoroughly until the mixture achieves a smooth consistency.
- In a separate container, thoroughly blend flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt using a whisk.
- Gradually integrate the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined to maintain a delicate texture.
- Delicately fold blueberries and white chocolate chips into the dough, taking care to prevent crushing the fragile berries.
- Distribute rounded tablespoon-sized dough portions onto prepared baking sheets, maintaining roughly 2 inches of spacing between each cookie.
- Place cookies in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, watching for lightly golden edges and centers that appear slightly soft.
- Remove from oven and allow cookies to rest on baking sheets for 5 minutes, enabling initial setting.
- Transfer cookies to a wire cooling rack, permitting complete cooling and final texture development.
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen blueberries to add vibrant bursts of fruity flavor and natural sweetness to these delightful cookies.
- Handle blueberries gently when folding into the dough to prevent crushing and maintain their beautiful whole shape and juicy texture.
- Consider using quick-frozen blueberries directly from the freezer to prevent color bleeding and maintain their structural integrity during mixing.
- For a gluten-free version, swap all-purpose flour with a cup-for-cup gluten-free flour blend to accommodate dietary restrictions without compromising taste or texture.
