Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Additional Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional)
- 1/4 cup coarse sugar for topping
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Mix Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
- Add Blueberries and Chips: Gently fold in the blueberries and white chocolate chips, if using.
- Scoop and Bake: Drop heaping tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, sprinkle with coarse sugar, and bake for 12–15 minutes until golden.
- Cool and Serve: Let cookies cool on the pan before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw to prevent excess moisture.
- For a stronger muffin-like texture, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
- White chocolate chips are optional but add a nice sweetness.
