Ingredients
For the Cookie Dough:
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (if using frozen, do not thaw)
Optional Add-Ins:
1/2 cup white chocolate chips (for added sweetness)
1 teaspoon lemon zest (to enhance the blueberry flavor)
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3: Cream the Butter and Sugars
In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter, cream cheese, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract, beating until smooth.
Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Gently fold in the blueberries (and white chocolate chips or lemon zest, if using). Be careful not to crush the blueberries too much.
Step 5: Scoop the Dough
Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 6: Bake
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
