Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 cup white chocolate chunks
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract and lemon zest until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to ensure even distribution of leavening agents.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in fresh blueberries and white chocolate chunks using a spatula, being careful not to crush the blueberries.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden and centers are set but still soft.
- Remove from oven and let cookies cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Ensure your butter is truly softened, not melted, for the perfect cookie texture.
- Don't overmix the dough—this can lead to tough, dense cookies.
- Use fresh, plump blueberries for the most intense flavor.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookie sizes and even baking.
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to help them set properly.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness and soft texture.
- For extra flavor, try toasting the white chocolate chunks briefly before adding to the dough.
