Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup plant-based butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
- 1/4 cup plant-based milk
Main Flavor
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Measure and sift the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and natural gelling agent into a bowl to combine evenly for a consistent texture.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a separate large bowl, whip together the plant-based butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This step is essential for a soft and chewy texture, so take your time.
- Add the Wet Ingredients: Mix in the plant-based milk and vanilla extract (natural), stirring until the batter is smooth and slightly creamy.
- Combine Dry and Wet Mixtures: Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently so the dough comes together without overmixing. This keeps the cookies tender.
- Fold in Fresh Blueberries: Carefully fold in the fresh blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed without crushing them to keep their juicy burst intact.
- Scoop and Bake: Using a cookie scoop or spoon, place rounded dollops of dough about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the edges are golden and the centers are set but soft.
- Cool and Enjoy: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish setting while maintaining their soft and chewy texture.
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe blueberries for the best flavor and texture.
- Do not overmix the dough to prevent tough cookies; fold until just combined.
- Chill the dough briefly if time allows to help cookies hold their shape.
- Use parchment paper or silicone mats to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Start checking cookies around 10 minutes to avoid overbaking as oven temperatures vary.
