Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup (1 stick or 113 g) unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
- ¾ cup (120 g) fresh blueberries (or ½ cup dried blueberries)
- 2 cups (240 g) all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup (50 g) brown sugar
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp lemon zest
- ½ cup (85 g) white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Station: Configure oven to 350F (175C) and line baking sheet with parchment paper for seamless cookie preparation.
- Dry Mixture Composition: Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in medium bowl, whisking thoroughly to distribute leavening agents uniformly.
- Sugar Fusion: Cream butter with granulated and brown sugars using electric mixer until mixture transforms into light, fluffy texture with pale coloration.
- Liquid Integration: Blend egg, vanilla extract, and lemon zest into butter-sugar mixture, ensuring smooth and complete incorporation.
- Dough Formation: Merge dry ingredients with wet components, stirring minimally to create cohesive dough without overworking the mixture.
- Blueberry Distribution: Gently fold fresh blueberries throughout dough, ensuring even fruity dispersion across cookie batch.
- Baking Arrangement: Drop rounded dough portions onto prepared sheet, positioning cookies with adequate spacing to accommodate natural spreading during baking process.
- Thermal Transformation: Bake for 12-14 minutes until cookie edges achieve golden hue and centers appear soft yet stabilized.
- Cooling Protocol: Allow cookies to rest on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to wire rack for complete temperature reduction and texture setting.
Notes
- Prevent Blueberry Bleeding: Gently coat fresh blueberries in a thin layer of flour before folding into the dough to prevent color bleeding and maintain cookie appearance.
- Gentle Mixing Technique: Avoid overmixing the dough to keep cookies tender and prevent developing tough gluten strands that can make cookies dense.
- Temperature Control: Use room temperature butter and egg for smoother blending and more consistent cookie texture, ensuring even incorporation of ingredients.
- Storage Wisdom: Store cooled cookies in an airtight container with a piece of bread to maintain moisture and softness for 3-4 days at room temperature.
