Total Time: 27 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking.
- In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until well blended.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed. Beat until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the large egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Beat until fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the blueberries and chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon. Make sure they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look set.
- Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your delicious blueberry oatmeal chocolate chip cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
Tips
- Use Fresh Blueberries: For the best flavor, opt for fresh blueberries. If using frozen, make sure to thaw and drain them to avoid excess moisture in your dough.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the dry and wet ingredients, mix just until incorporated. Overmixing can lead to tough cookies.
- Chill the Dough: If you have time, refrigerate the dough for about 30 minutes before baking. This helps the cookies maintain their shape and enhances the flavors.
- Experiment with Add-ins: Feel free to customize your cookies by adding nuts, coconut flakes, or even a sprinkle of cinnamon for an extra layer of flavor.
- Check for Doneness: Keep an eye on your cookies as they bake. They should be golden around the edges but still soft in the center; they will continue to firm up as they cool.
- Storage Tips: Store your cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze them for longer storage. Just pop them in the microwave for a few seconds to enjoy that fresh-baked taste again!
