Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon natural baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup plant-based butter
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon natural vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup plant-based milk

Add-ins

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare: Begin by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lining a baking tray with parchment paper or a silicone mat. This ensures your cookies bake evenly and won’t stick.
  2. Combine dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, natural baking powder, and a pinch of salt. This step evenly distributes your leavening and creates the foundation for your soft cookie texture.
  3. Cream butter and sugars: In a larger bowl, use a mixer or sturdy spoon to cream the plant-based butter with brown and granulated sugars until light and fluffy. This introduces air and melt-in-your-mouth softness.
  4. Add vanilla and milk: Stir in the natural vanilla extract and plant-based milk to your butter mixture which adds moisture and a touch of sweetness.
  5. Combine wet and dry: Gradually fold the dry flour mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined to avoid overworking the dough which keeps the cookies tender.
  6. Incorporate blueberries and natural gelling agent: Gently fold in fresh blueberries along with the measured natural gelling agent that helps keep the fruit juicy inside the cookie without making the dough wet or sticky.
  7. Scoop and bake: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to place dough balls evenly spaced on the prepared tray. Bake in your preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, until edges are lightly golden but centers remain soft.
  8. Cool and enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the tray for at least 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. This resting time helps them set perfectly soft and chewy throughout.

Notes

  • Use room temperature plant-based butter for better creaming with sugars to create airy dough and soft cookies.
  • Do not overmix; stir the dough just until combined for tender, melt-in-your-mouth texture.
  • Use only fresh blueberries to prevent excess moisture affecting cookie texture.
  • Chilling the dough for a short time creates firmer cookies and controls spreading.
  • Remove cookies from the oven right before they appear fully baked to keep them soft inside.
  • Store cooled cookies in an airtight container with a slice of bread to keep them soft longer.
