INGREDIENTS

• • 1 cup granulated sugar

• • ½ cup brown sugar, packed

• • 2 large eggs

• • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour

• • 1 teaspoon baking powder

• • ½ teaspoon baking soda

• • ¼ teaspoon salt

• • 1 ½ cups fresh blueberries

DIRECTIONS

• • Step No.1: Preheat oven Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure cookies bake evenly without sticking.

• • Step No.2: Mix butter and cream cheese In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, cream cheese, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and fluffy using a hand mixer.

• • Step No.3: Add eggs and vanilla Beat in eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Ensure everything is combined, creating a smooth, creamy batter.

• • Step No.4: Combine dry ingredients In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture.

• • Step No.5: Fold in blueberries Gently fold in the blueberries to avoid crushing them. The dough should remain soft, thick, and slightly sticky.

• • Step No.6: Shape and bake Scoop dough into 2-tablespoon-sized balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spaced evenly. Bake for 12-15 minutes until edges are lightly golden.

• • Step No.7: Cool completely Remove cookies from oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

TIPS FOR SUCCESS

• • Use fresh blueberries: Fresh berries prevent soggy dough and burst beautifully in the cookies, giving vibrant flavor and color.

• • Don’t overmix: Overmixing can create dense cookies. Fold ingredients gently to maintain a soft, fluffy texture.

• • Chill dough if needed: If dough feels too sticky, refrigerate for 30 minutes to make scooping and baking easier.

• • Measure flour carefully: Use a spoon and level technique to avoid dry or tough cookies due to excess flour.

• • Avoid crushing berries: Gently fold blueberries to keep them whole, ensuring bursts of flavor in every bite.

• • Check oven temperature: Use an oven thermometer to bake at the right temperature for perfect results.

• • Cool properly: Allow cookies to cool completely before storing to preserve texture and prevent mushiness.

VARIATIONS

• • Lemon zest twist: Add 1 teaspoon of lemon zest to the dough for a bright, citrusy flavor complementing the blueberries.

• • chocolate chips: Mix in white or dark chocolate chips for an indulgent, sweet addition to every cookie.

• • Almond extract: Replace vanilla extract with almond extract to create a nutty, aromatic variation.

• • Mixed berries: Combine blueberries with raspberries or blackberries for a colorful and tangy mixed berry cookie.

• • gluten-free diet version: Substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend to make this recipe allergy-friendly.
