Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup plant-based butter, softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup plant-based milk
Main Flavor
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Prepare the Dry Ingredients: Start by combining the all-purpose flour, baking powder, natural gelling agent, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk thoroughly to ensure even distribution and incorporation.
- Cream the Butter and Sugar: Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the plant-based butter and brown sugar until the mixture is light, fluffy, and pale in color, providing aeration essential for soft, chewy cookies.
- Add the Wet Ingredients: Mix in the vanilla extract (natural), apple cider vinegar, and plant-based milk to the butter-sugar mixture. Beat until combined and smooth to create a creamy base.
- Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until incorporated. Avoid overmixing to prevent tough cookies.
- Fold in the Blueberries: Gently fold fresh blueberries into the dough, keeping them intact to disperse juicy flavor throughout.
- Shape and Bake: Scoop the cookie dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them apart for gentle spreading. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12-15 minutes or until edges are lightly golden but centers remain soft.
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe blueberries for the best flavor and moisture balance.
- Do not overmix the dough to keep cookies soft and chewy.
- Chilling the dough before baking helps maintain cookie shape.
- Measure flour by spooning into cups gently to avoid dense cookies.
- Watch baking time carefully; slightly underbaking yields a tender center.
