Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (225g) cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (100g) brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups (315g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup (150g) fresh or frozen blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and butter until creamy. Add granulated sugar and brown sugar, mixing until smooth.
- Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the blueberries. If using frozen berries, do not thaw them beforehand to avoid excess juice.
- Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- 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 to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or freeze for longer storage.
Notes
- Chill the Dough for Better Texture: If your cookies spread too much while baking, refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes before portioning. This helps the butter and cream cheese firm up, ensuring thicker, chewier cookies.
- Use Fresh or Frozen Blueberries Carefully: Frozen blueberries can release more juice during mixing and baking, which might slightly color the dough. To minimize this, add them frozen and fold gently to avoid breaking the berries.
- Measure Ingredients Accurately: For perfect consistency, use a kitchen scale to weigh ingredients, especially flour. Too much flour can result in dense cookies, while too little can make them overly soft and spread too much.
