Ingredients

2¼ cups all-purpose flour
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
¼ cup cream cheese, softened
¾ cup granulated sugar
½ cup brown sugar, packed
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (do not thaw if frozen)
Optional Add-Ins:
- ½ cup white chocolate chips
- 1 tsp lemon zest

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set this dry mixture aside.
Step 3: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, cream cheese, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3–4 minutes.
Step 4: Add the egg and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture and mix until fully combined.
Step 5: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.
Step 6: Carefully fold in the blueberries along with any optional add-ins such as white chocolate chips or lemon zest.
Step 7: Using a scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
Step 8: Bake for 12–15 minutes until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look set but still soft.
Step 9: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips & Variations

Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor, but frozen berries can be used if you don’t thaw them first to prevent excess moisture in the dough.
Add lemon zest or a splash of lemon juice for a bright, tangy twist that complements the blueberries perfectly.
Swap white chocolate chips with dark or milk chocolate chips according to your preference.
For a firmer cookie, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.

Storage

Store baked cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. To keep them fresh longer, refrigerate for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat gently in a microwave for 10-15 seconds or let them come to room temperature before serving to enjoy their soft texture.

FAQs

Can I use frozen blueberries in these cookies?

Yes, you can use frozen blueberries, but do not thaw them beforehand. Adding frozen berries directly into the dough helps prevent excess moisture that could make the cookies soggy.
