Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
Add-ins
- 1 ½ cups white chocolate chips
- 1 ¼ cups dried blueberries
- ½ cup chopped macadamia nuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with granulated sugar and light brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, which helps incorporate air for a tender texture.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time to the creamed mixture, then mix in the vanilla extract until fully combined and smooth.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt to create an even distribution of leavening agents and seasoning.
- Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined to avoid overmixing which can lead to tough cookies.
- Fold in Add-ins: Gently fold in the white chocolate chips, dried blueberries, and optional macadamia nuts to evenly distribute the flavor and texture throughout the dough.
- Form Cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading during baking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes or until the edges turn golden and the centers are set but still soft.
- Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. This prevents breaking and helps them set perfectly.
Notes
- For a tangy twist, substitute dried blueberries with fresh or frozen blueberries, but reduce other moisture slightly to maintain dough consistency.
- Macadamia nuts add a delightful crunch but are optional. They can be replaced with chopped pecans or walnuts based on preference or allergies.
