How to make: Blueberry Cookies

butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil adds a subtle flavor and is dairy-free.

fresh blueberries

🥗Healthier: frozen blueberries

💰Cheaper: dried blueberries

Frozen blueberries are often less expensive and can be used directly.

brown sugar

🥗Healthier: coconut sugar

💰Cheaper: white sugar

Coconut sugar has a lower glycemic index.

all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber and nutrients.

Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Set the dry ingredients aside.

In the base of a stand mixer, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar for about 2 minutes on medium speed using the paddle attachment. If you don't have a stand mixer, you can use a large bowl and a hand mixer.

Add the vanilla extract and egg to the mixer and mix until combined, about 1 minute on medium-low speed.

Add the dry ingredients to the mixer on low speed, slowly. Be sure to scrape down the bowl as needed, but avoid overmixing.

Fold in the white chocolate chips until they are evenly incorporated into the dough. Batter will be very thick so this will take a minute or two.

Gently fold in the blueberries (you don't want them to break up too much). Again, batter is thick so take your time.

Use a medium cookie scoop (about 2 Tablespoons) to scoop the dough and place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart. If you want to make these look even better, try adding a couple of white chocolate chips on top of each cookie before baking (not necessary but I think it makes them look pretty).

Bake the cookies for 9 minutes or until golden on the edges. Avoid overbaking. You want to take them out when they are just slightly underbaked to keep them soft.

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. Enjoy!
