Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/2 cup plant-based butter
- 3/4 cup natural brown sugar
- 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon natural vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup plant-based milk
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Start by rinsing the blueberries gently and patting them dry. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and promote even baking.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat the plant-based butter with the natural brown sugar until light and fluffy. This introduces necessary air for the soft cookie texture.
- Mix in Wet Ingredients: Add the natural vanilla extract and plant-based milk to the creamed butter and sugar, mixing until smooth. These ingredients add moisture and flavor depth to your cookies.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and natural gelling agent. These will help your cookies rise while keeping them tender.
- Bring It All Together: Slowly mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to keep the cookies soft and not tough.
- Add Blueberries: Gently fold the fresh blueberries into the dough, being careful not to crush them to preserve their juicy texture and vibrant color.
- Scoop and Bake: Drop spoonfuls of the cookie dough onto your prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until lightly golden on the edges. Let them cool slightly before enjoying.
Notes
- Use fresh, firm blueberries to prevent sogginess.
- Do not overmix the dough to retain softness.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes if needed to maintain cookie shape during baking.
- Line your pan well with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Watch baking time carefully; pull cookies out when edges are golden but centers are still soft.
