Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 4 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Add-ins
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (if using frozen, do not thaw)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Cream Butter, Cream Cheese, and Sugar: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, cream cheese, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, which helps create a tender cookie texture.
- Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined, adding moisture and flavor to the dough.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening and seasoning.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined, taking care not to overmix to maintain a soft texture.
- Fold in Add-ins: Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and blueberries to distribute them throughout the dough without breaking the berries.
- Portion Dough: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing the cookies approximately 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake: Bake for 12–14 minutes, or until the cookie edges are set and lightly golden while the centers may still look slightly soft.
- Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to firm up before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking can help prevent excessive spreading during baking.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.
