Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder (natural gelling agent)
- 1/4 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup plant-based butter
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup plant-based milk
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (natural)
Main Flavor
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper. Measure out all ingredients so they are ready to use to ensure smooth and even mixing.
- Cream the Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat the plant-based butter and brown sugar until fluffy and creamy. This step helps achieve a chewy texture by dissolving the sugar well and aerating the mixture.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the plant-based milk, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract (natural) fully to create a balanced and tender dough.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder (natural gelling agent), and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined to avoid overmixing.
- Fold in the Blueberries: Gently fold the fresh blueberries into the dough, taking care not to crush them and preserving bursts of fruit throughout the cookies.
- Portion and Bake: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, place dollops of dough about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking tray. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until edges are golden but centers remain soft.
- Cool and Enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the baking tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Cooling helps set their soft texture and enhance the blueberry flavor.
Notes
- Keep blueberries cold before adding to prevent excess bleeding into the dough.
- Do not overmix the dough to keep cookies tender and chewy.
- Use fresh or thawed and drained frozen blueberries.
- Line baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat for best results.
- Remove cookies once edges turn golden to maintain soft centers.
