Ingredients

For the cookies

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

For the streusel topping

• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup rolled oats
• 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

3. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.

🥄 Make sure your butter is at room temperature for easier mixing and better texture!

4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, mixing until fully incorporated.

5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to break them.

6. For the streusel topping, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Drizzle the melted butter over the mixture and use a fork or your fingers to mix until crumbly.

7. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Top each cookie with a generous sprinkle of streusel.

8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the center is set. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

🧊 If you're using frozen blueberries, consider tossing them in a bit of flour before folding them into the dough to prevent them from sinking to the bottom during baking.

Variations

• Nutty Twist: Add 1/2 cup of chopped nuts (like pecans or walnuts) to the cookie dough for added crunch and flavor! 🌰
• Lemon Zest: Incorporate the zest of one lemon into the cookie dough for a refreshing citrus note that complements the blueberries beautifully. 🍋
• Gluten-Free: Substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Make sure your oats are certified gluten-free as well!
• Dairy-Free: Use a dairy-free butter alternative for the cookies and streusel topping to make them suitable for a dairy-free diet.

Enjoy these luscious blueberry streusel cookies, and watch them disappear in no time! 🥳🫐
