Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy (2-3 minutes).
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms.
- Gently fold in the blueberries. If using frozen blueberries, work quickly to prevent the dough from becoming too wet.
- Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers remain soft.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Frozen Blueberries: Work best for this recipe as they hold their shape and add vibrant color without releasing too much moisture.
- Storage: Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Freeze for longer storage.
- Optional Additions: For extra flavor, sprinkle the cookies with granulated sugar or powdered sugar before baking.
- Chill the Dough: If the dough becomes too sticky, refrigerate it for 20-30 minutes before baking.
