Blueberry cookies are a delightful twist on the traditional cookie, bursting with the juicy sweetness of fresh blueberries. Whether you're baking for a special occasion or simply craving a sweet snack, these cookies are sure to satisfy your taste buds. Below is a simple recipe to create these delicious treats right at home.
Ingredients:
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen, if unavailable)
½ cup rolled oats (optional for a chewier texture)
1 tablespoon lemon zest (optional, adds freshness)
Instructions:
1. Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set this mixture aside.
3. Cream the Butter and Sugar: In a separate large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy. This usually takes about 3 minutes.
4. Add Wet Ingredients: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated. For added brightness, you can mix in the lemon zest at this stage.
5. Combine Dry and Wet Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. If you're adding oats, stir them in now.
6. Add Blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries. Be careful not to over-mix, as this can cause the berries to burst and turn the dough purple.
7. Shape the Cookies: Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop dollops of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each ball slightly with the back of a spoon to help them spread evenly while baking.
8. Bake the Cookies: Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden. The centers may still be soft, but they will firm up as they cool.
9. Cool and Enjoy: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. The cookies will be slightly crisp on the outside and soft on the inside, with a burst of blueberry goodness in every bite.
Tips for the Best Blueberry Cookies:
Fresh or Frozen Blueberries: Fresh blueberries work best, but if using frozen, don’t thaw them. Just fold them into the dough frozen to prevent excess juice from leaking out.
Texture Adjustments: If you like chewier cookies, adding oats gives them an extra bite. For a crispier texture, you can reduce the baking time slightly.
Storage: Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4-5 days. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months—just be sure to wrap them tightly.
These blueberry cookies are the perfect blend of sweet and fruity, with a soft, buttery base. They’re sure to become a family favorite, especially when you want to indulge in a comforting, homemade treat!
