Blueberry cookies are a delightful treat that combine the sweetness of blueberries with the comforting texture of cookies. Here’s a simple recipe you can try at home:
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- Optional: 1/2 cup white chocolate chips or chunks (for added sweetness)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a smooth dough forms.
- Gently fold in the blueberries (and white chocolate chips, if using) until evenly distributed throughout the dough. Be careful not to overmix, as this can cause the blueberries to break apart.
- Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your homemade blueberry cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite hot beverage!
These cookies are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Enjoy!
