You’ll need the following ingredients to make these delicious Blueberry White Chocolate Cookies:
INGREDIENT NOTES
Dry ingredients – A mixture of all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and baking soda will provide structure and texture to the cookies.
Butter – Use room-temperature butter for best results. Butter adds rich, creamy flavor and moisture to the cookie dough.
Brown sugar – Not only does brown sugar add sweetness to the cookies, it also lends a rich, caramel-like flavor and chewy texture.
White chocolate chips – The star of these cookies, white chocolate chips or chunks, add flavor, texture, and lovely visual appeal, giving these cookies a unique twist on classic chocolate chip cookies.
Blueberries – Using fresh blueberries will add a soft, juicy, slightly tart flavor to the cookies, complementing other flavors wonderfully.
HOW TO MAKE BLUEBERRY WHITE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES: STEP BY STEP
Here are some quick visual instructions. Remember that full instructions with exact ingredients will be in the recipe card below!
Step 1: Whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
To the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream softened butter and brown sugar until soft and creamy. Alternatively, you can use a large bowl and a hand mixer. Next, add vanilla and egg and mix until combined.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture on low speed, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Step 2: Gently mix the chocolate chips into the cookie batter using a silicone spatula. Then, add the fresh blueberries and fold them gently until they are combined evenly.
Step 3: Scoop the cookie dough using a medium-sized cookie scoop and carefully roll it into balls. Place them onto a prepared cookie sheet about 2 inches apart.
Step 4: Bake cookies until slightly golden brown around the edges. Allow the cookies to rest on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
RECIPE TIPS & TRICKS
- Avoid overmixing the cookie dough. When adding the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mix on low until there are no more white flour streaks. Overmixing the batter can cause the cookies to become too dense.
- Fold in the berries gently. To avoid crushing berries or breaking them apart, folding them gently into the cookie dough is essential. Some may burst, which is fine as it adds to the pretty purple hue in the batter, but you want most of the berries to have a distinct structure.
- Do not overbake. When you pull them out of the oven, cookies should still be slightly soft in the center. They will continue to set as they cool.
- Make them pretty. Tuck a few blueberries and chocolate chips on the surface of the cookie ball before baking for a lovely visual appeal.
Confidence Tip
If you like flatter cookies, press the cookie dough balls down slightly on the baking sheet before baking.
STORAGE & REHEATING
- Storage: Leftover blueberry cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to 1 week at room temperature. Before storing them, ensure they are cooled completely.
- Freezing: You can also freeze these cookies for longer storage. Place the cooled blueberry cookies in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Pop them in the freezer to flash freeze for 1-2 hours. Once frozen solid, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag and store them in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- Thawing: To thaw frozen blueberry cookies, remove a cookie from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes.
Additions & Substitutions
ADDITIONS:
- Nuts: Add chopped nuts like walnuts, pecans, or slivered almonds for fun texture and flavor.
- Lemon flavor: To give these cookies a refreshing summer flavor, add a tablespoon of lemon zest and lemon juice to make delightful lemon blueberry cookies.
SUBSTITUTIONS:
- Chocolate Chunks: You can substitute white chocolate chunks for the chocolate chips or add both! I like to save some chips or chunks to add to the balls just before baking.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
With small modifications, you can make this easy cookie recipe with frozen blueberries. First, thaw the blueberries before adding them to the cookie dough. Place frozen blueberries in a fine mesh sieve over a large bowl to catch the liquid.
Pat the thawed blueberries dry with paper towels. Lastly, it may also help to toss them with a bit of cornstarch to absorb any excess moisture and prevent the blueberries from bleeding into the cookie dough.
Yes, swap out the sweet white chocolate chips or chunks for dark chocolate for more bold-flavored cookies. You can also use regular milk chocolate chips.
The best way to make the cookies similar in size is to use a cookie scoop. I used a medium-sized cookie scoop which is approximately two tablespoons.
If you use smaller scoops, adjust the baking time accordingly. You can also flatten the cookies by pressing the cookie ball with the palm of your hand.
