Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup plant-based butter, softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
- 1/4 cup plant-based milk
Main Ingredient
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients and Preheat Oven: Start by washing the fresh blueberries and patting them dry gently to avoid too much moisture in your dough. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius), and line your baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, use a mixer or a sturdy spoon to cream the plant-based butter and brown sugar together until the texture is light and fluffy. This process incorporates air for a soft and tender crumb.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Mix in the vanilla extract (natural) and plant-based milk, stirring until everything is well combined. This moist mixture sets the foundation for delicious blueberry cookies.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and natural gelling agent. Gradually add these dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently to create a soft, sticky dough.
- Incorporate Blueberries: Carefully fold in the fresh blueberries to avoid crushing them too much and turning the dough purple. These berries provide those delightful juicy pops in every bite.
- Scoop and Bake: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop dollops of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until edges are lightly golden and the centers are just set.
Notes
- Use fresh blueberries to hold shape and flavor better during baking.
- Do not overmix the dough to maintain a tender texture.
- Chill the dough for 20-30 minutes to help cookies keep shape.
- Always line the baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat for easy removal.
- Watch baking time closely; slightly underbaked cookies will be softer and melt in your mouth.
