- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ cup (60ml) buttermilk (or whole milk)
- 1 cup (150g) fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 tbsp flour (to coat blueberries)
Optional Streusel Topping:

- ¼ cup (30g) all-purpose flour

👨🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat & Prep
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2️⃣ Mix Dry Ingredients
In a bowl, whisk together:
- Flour
- Baking powder
- Baking soda
- Salt
3️⃣ Cream Butter & Sugar
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract, and beat until smooth.
4️⃣ Combine & Mix
Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in alternating parts with the buttermilk, mixing gently until just combined.
Don’t overmix—this keeps the cookies soft.
5️⃣ Add Blueberries
Toss the blueberries in 1 tbsp flour (this helps prevent sinking), then gently fold them into the dough.
6️⃣ Shape the Cookies
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto your lined baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart.
They’ll puff slightly, like muffin tops.
7️⃣ Make the Streusel (Optional)
In a small bowl, mix the sugar, flour, and cubed butter using a fork or fingertips until crumbly.
Sprinkle a bit on top of each cookie dough scoop.
8️⃣ Bake & Cool
Bake for 12–15 minutes, until edges are golden and centers are set.
Let cool for 5 minutes on the tray, then transfer to a wire rack.
