Ingredients
-
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt

Wet Ingredients:
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
-
Mix-ins:
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat & Prep: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Cream Butter & Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Combine: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries to avoid crushing them.
- Scoop & Bake: Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges turn golden brown.
- Cool & Enjoy: Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- For a stronger blueberry flavor, add 1 tsp blueberry extract or use dried blueberries.
- Chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking helps prevent excessive spreading.
- If using frozen blueberries, don’t thaw them—just mix them in and bake 1-2 minutes longer.
