Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen, thawed)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  • Mix butter and cream cheese: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.
  • Add sugar and vanilla: Beat in the granulated sugar and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  • Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
  • Fold in blueberries: Gently fold in the fresh or thawed blueberries, being careful not to crush them.
  • Scoop dough: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Space them about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  • Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Dust with powdered sugar (optional): Once cooled, dust the cookies with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, you can add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the dough.
  • If using frozen blueberries, ensure they are thawed and drained to avoid excess moisture in the dough.
  • These cookies are best enjoyed within 2-3 days but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
