All Ingredients Needed

Blueberry white chocolate chip cookies use a lot of standard baking ingredients, most of which you’ll be able to find in your pantry! If you’re like me and stock up on blueberries once they come into season, this is a great way to use them! Find measurements for each ingredient below in the recipe card.

• Unsalted Butter: Adds a rich flavor and will make your blueberry cookies nice and moist. The more fat content your cookies have, the more soft and chewy they’ll be!
• Sugar: I used a mixture of brown and granulated sugar here for a more complex sweetness.
• Eggs: Needed to bind everything together and help your cookies take shape.
• Vanilla Extract: A little vanilla helps to flavor your entire batch of cookies.
• Lemon Zest: The bright flavor of lemon pairs so well with blueberry!
• Flour: I used all-purpose flour here. It has a low protein content so any baked goods you make with it will be nice and soft.
• Baking Soda and Baking Powder: Both are needed in order for your cookies to rise properly.
• Salt: Enhances the flavor of your cookie dough.
• Blueberries: Opt for fresh blueberries if possible! Dried blueberries also work. I don’t recommend using frozen blueberries because the high liquid content will make your cookies soggy.
• White Chocolate Chips: White chocolate adds the best creaminess to these cookies!

How to Make the Best Blueberry Cookies

Honestly, blueberry white chocolate cookies are just as easy to make as prepackaged cookies. It takes less than 20 minutes from start to finish, and the result is insanely delicious! Let’s get started!

1. Preheat Oven, Prep Cookie Sheets: Preheat the oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the butter and both sugars until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, vanilla, and lemon zest to the butter mixture and beat until combined.
3. Add Dry Ingredients and Fillings: Add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt and mix until combined. Fold in the blueberries and chocolate chips by hand.
4. Shape and Bake: Using a 1-inch cookie scoop, scoop out the dough and drop cookie dough balls on the baking sheets leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. Bake for 7-8 minutes, until the edges are just slightly browning.
5. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool for 2 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a cooling rack to finish cooling.
