Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
1/2 cup flour (for streusel)
1/3 cup sugar (for streusel)
4 tablespoons cold butter (for streusel)
1/2 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
1 tablespoon milk (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and airy.
Beat in the eggs one by one, then add the vanilla extract until smooth.
Whisk the 2 1/2 cups flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate container.
Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
Gently fold in the fresh blueberries being careful not to crush them.
Prepare the streusel by rubbing cold butter, flour, and sugar together until crumbly.
Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the baking sheets and sprinkle generously with the streusel topping.
Bake for 15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
Allow to cool on a rack before drizzling with a simple glaze made of powdered sugar and milk.
Notes
Ensure your butter is at room temperature for the best texture. Use firm fresh blueberries to prevent the dough from becoming too wet. You can substitute white chocolate chips for a sweeter profile or add lemon zest for brightness. Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
