Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup plant-based butter
- 3/4 cup natural brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup plant-based milk
Main Flavor
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients and Preheat the Oven: Gather all your ingredients and preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and natural gelling agent to ensure even rising and a tender crumb.
- Cream the Plant-Based Butter and Brown Sugar: In a separate large bowl, use a mixer or whisk to cream the plant-based butter and natural brown sugar until fluffy and light. This incorporates air for softness.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: Add the vanilla extract (natural), apple cider vinegar, and plant-based milk to the creamed mixture. Stir just until blended to keep the dough light.
- Fold in Dry Ingredients and Blueberries: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Once fully combined, gently fold in the fresh blueberries carefully to avoid crushing and coloring the dough.
- Shape and Bake: Drop spoonfuls of cookie batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden but the centers remain soft.
- Cool and Enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps them firm up while maintaining a chewy texture.
Notes
- Use ripe, firm blueberries for best flavor and color.
- Fold in blueberries gently to prevent them from breaking and coloring the dough.
- Mix just until ingredients are combined to keep the cookies tender and chewy.
- If possible, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to improve flavor and control spread.
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
