Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour: The base of your cookies, providing structure.
- 1 teaspoon baking soda: Helps the cookies rise, creating a light texture.
- ½ teaspoon salt: Enhances the overall flavor and balances the sweetness.
- ¾ cup unsalted butter (softened): Adds richness and helps achieve a chewy texture.
- ½ cup granulated sugar: Sweetens the cookies and contributes to their texture.
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar: Adds moisture and a deep caramel flavor.
- 2 large eggs: Binds the ingredients together and aids in leavening.
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract: Enhances the flavors, adding a warm aroma to the cookies.
- 1 ½ cups fresh blueberries: The star of the cookies, adding bursts of sweet flavor.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C): This step ensures that your cookies bake evenly.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt. Set aside.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, cream ¾ cup unsalted butter with ½ cup granulated sugar and 1 cup packed light brown sugar until smooth and fluffy.
- Add eggs and vanilla: Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, followed by 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Fold in blueberries: Carefully fold in 1 ½ cups fresh blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed without breaking them.
- Drop cookie dough: Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.
- Cool the cookies: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
