Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour (or 1:1 gluten-free flour blend)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest (optional but recommended)
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup (85g) white chocolate chips (optional)
  • 1/4 cup (30g) chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until pale and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until fully combined and smooth. Do not overmix.
  5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in two parts, mixing on low speed just until combined. The dough should be thick and slightly sticky.
  6. In a small bowl, toss the blueberries with cornstarch and lemon juice.
  7. Gently fold the coated blueberries (and optional white chocolate chips or nuts) into the cookie dough with a spatula. Be careful not to overmix.
  8. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough balls (about 2 tablespoons each) 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Bake for 11-13 minutes, until edges are lightly golden and centers are just set. Do not overbake.
  10. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

For best results, use cold or frozen blueberries and gently fold them in to avoid turning the dough purple. If you want thicker cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage. Optional add-ins like white chocolate chips or nuts add extra flavor and texture.
