For the Cookie Dough:
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¼ cup cream cheese, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (if using frozen, do not thaw)
Optional Add-Ins:
- ½ cup white chocolate chips (for added sweetness)
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest (to enhance the blueberry flavor)
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Mix the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- Cream the butter and sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter, cream cheese, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, beating until smooth and well combined.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Gently fold in the blueberries (and the white chocolate chips and/or lemon zest if using), being careful not to crush the berries.
- Scoop the dough: Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake: Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
