🍪 Ingredients
-
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter – softened
-
1 cup white sugar
-
1/2 cup brown sugar
-
2 large eggs
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
-
1 tsp baking soda
-
1/2 tsp salt
-
1 ½ cups fresh or frozen blueberries
-
Purple food coloring (optional)
-
White chocolate chips or chunks (optional)
-
Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
🧁 Instructions
1. Prepare the Blueberries
-
If using frozen blueberries, thaw and pat them dry.
-
Lightly mash half of the blueberries to release juice and color (optional, for a more intense purple hue).
2. Cream the Butter and Sugars
-
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add Eggs and Vanilla
-
Mix in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract.
4. Mix Dry Ingredients
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
-
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture until just combined.
5. Add Blueberries and Color
-
Gently fold in the blueberries. If desired, add a few drops of purple food coloring for a rich, vibrant color.
-
If you love extra sweetness, fold in white chocolate chips.
6. Chill the Dough
-
Cover the dough and chill for 30-60 minutes. This helps the cookies hold their shape while baking.
7. Bake
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Scoop dough balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
-
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still soft.
8. Cool and Dust
-
Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
-
Dust with powdered sugar for a magical touch.
💡 Tips for the Best Blueberry Cookies
-
Don’t overmix the dough once the flour is added – it can make the cookies tough.
-
Chilling the dough is key to thick, chewy cookies.
-
Add lemon zest for a fresh twist.
-
Use gel food coloring for a deeper purple without changing the texture.
