Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (if frozen, do not thaw)

Coating

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for rolling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven and prepare baking sheets: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Cream butter and sugar: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy, which helps create a delicate cookie texture.
  3. Add vanilla and egg: Mix in the vanilla extract and the large egg until the ingredients are fully incorporated and the batter is smooth.
  4. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to ensure even distribution of the leavening agent and seasoning.
  5. Fold dry ingredients into wet: Gently fold the dry flour mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined, to avoid overmixing which can toughen the cookies.
  6. Incorporate blueberries: Carefully fold the fresh or frozen blueberries into the dough, taking care not to crush them to keep the berries intact and juicy inside the cookies.
  7. Form and coat dough balls: Scoop the dough into 1 ½-inch balls using a cookie scoop or spoon. Roll each ball generously in powdered sugar to create a crackled crust when baked.
  8. Arrange on baking sheet: Place the coated dough balls at least 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets to allow room for spreading during baking.
  9. Bake the cookies: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and display the characteristic crinkled appearance.
  10. Cool the cookies: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, which helps them firm up and develop their texture.

Notes

  • Use frozen blueberries directly without thawing to prevent excess moisture in the dough.
  • Do not overmix the dough to maintain a soft cookie texture.
  • For a more pronounced crackle effect, roll the dough balls generously in powdered sugar.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
