Blueberry cookies

Blueberry cookies are a delightful twist on traditional cookies, offering a burst of fruity flavor in every bite. Here’s a recipe for what could be considered the best blueberry cookies:

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional)
  • Zest of 1 lemon (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
  6. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, white chocolate chips (if using), and lemon zest (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  9. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
  10. Once cooled, store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature.

These blueberry cookies are soft, chewy, and bursting with juicy blueberry flavor. The addition of white chocolate chips and lemon zest adds extra depth and brightness to the cookies. Enjoy them as a delightful snack or dessert!
