Tools
- A stand mixer is needed for creaming the butter and sugar and mixing your cookie dough. If you don't have a stand mixer, you can substitute an electric handheld mixer and a mixing bowl. If neither is available at home, some people use a whisk and a spatula. However, keep in mind that mixing everything together manually may require some extra effort.
- This recipe also requires a variety of mixing bowls and measuring cups. If measuring cups are not available, a digital weighing scale can be used, but everything must be converted to grams first.
- Use a baking sheet or baking pan that is suitable for high heat. Also, if the baking sheet is not nonstick, line it with parchment or wax paper to keep it from sticking to the pan.
- You may also use an ice cream scooper to scoop your cookie dough. This will help you achieve uniform cookie sizes. Don't worry, you can choose between large and small ice cream scoopers.
- In thawing your frozen blueberries, you can switch from stovetop to microwave. This will save you time and effort because it will take no more than 30 seconds.
Notes
- If you have fresh blueberries on hand, you can substitute those for frozen ones. All you have to do is cook it with a little sugar and a little water until it resembles jam and is a little watery. This works just as well as the frozen version for coloring your cookie dough.
- Instead of using white chocolate chips, you can also use different types of nuts like cashews, walnuts, or almonds. This will add crunch and texture to your cookie. You may also want to replace it with dried fruits instead, like dried cranberries, raisins, or dried mixed berries.
- If your recipe calls for it, chill your cookie dough. Don’t skip it. The cookie batter won't spread too much when baking if the cookie dough is chilled in the refrigerator before scooping. It also guarantees a thicker, more solid cookie and improves flavor as well.
- Baking the cookies in 10-13 minutes will give you soft and chewy cookies. However, it will still feel jiggly and soft when removed from the oven. Don't worry, it will firm up once cooled. Unless you want your cookies to be crispy, avoid overbaking them.
- It is crucial to let the baked cookies cool for at least 5 to 10 minutes before removing them from the pan. This will give the cookies enough time to firm up and not break when handled.
- Oven temperature and baking time still vary depending on what type of oven you are using. It is always a good idea to test your oven first with small batches before baking larger quantities.
