Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Measuring cups or kitchen scale
  • Measuring Spoons
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment Paper

Ingredients
 

  • 8 tablespoons (113 grams) salted butter melted and cooled but still liquid, do not use hot butter
  • ½ cup (110 grams) packed dark brown sugar
  • ¼ cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 2 teaspons vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups (188 grams) all purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • heaping ¼ teaspoon kosher salt use ½ teaspoon kosher salt if you're not using salted butter
  • 1 cup (161 grams) dried blueberries use the full amount or else the cookies will spread too much
  • 1 cup (171 grams) dark chocolate chips dark is best

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt, then set aside.
  • In a large bowl, beat the cooled down melted butter (it must be cooled down) with the brown sugar and granulated sugar until smooth. Add the vanilla extract, egg, and egg yolk, and mix until combined.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, beating until almost incorporated. Add the chocolate chips and blueberries.
  • Beat until fully combined. Divide the cookie dough into 12 balls.
  • Roll them smooth before placing them on a baking sheet. Place them 2-3 inches apart, baking one sheet at a time. Position it on the center rack of the oven to ensure even baking, avoiding placement too close to the top or bottom. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes; they will look underbaked but will continue to cook as they cool. The edges will look set but the centers will look soft.
  • Immediately after removing the cookies from the oven, use a round cookie cutter or small bowl to gently "scoot" the edges by pushing the sides inward shaping them into thicker, perfectly round cookies. Scooting the cookies not only makes them round but creates the perfect texture, chewy edges and fudgy centers.

Notes

Don’t Over mix: Be gentle when mixing in the eggs; over mixing can make the cookies cakey.
Don’t Over bake: Remove the cookies when the edges are set but the centers still look slightly underbaked.
Size Matters: Make 12 big cookies for the ideal texture—crispy edges and soft centers. 
Dark Chocolate: Pair the sweetness of dried blueberries with dark chocolate for a balanced flavor.
Storage:
Room Temperature: Store the blueberry chocolate cookies in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Avoid the refrigerator to prevent drying out.
Freezer: Freeze cookies in an airtight container for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature before enjoying.
