🛒 Ingredients (Makes about 18-20 cookies)
For the Cookies:
- 250g all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 120g unsalted butter, softened
- 150g granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 150g fresh blueberries (or frozen, do not thaw)
- 80ml whole milk (or buttermilk for extra richness)
For the Streusel Topping:
- 60g all-purpose flour
- 50g light brown sugar, packed
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 40g unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- Pinch of salt
🔪 Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Streusel Topping
- In a small bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
- Add the cold butter cubes and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Set aside.
Step 2: Make the Cookie Dough
- Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes) using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just incorporated.
- Gently fold in the blueberries and milk until evenly distributed.
Step 3: Scoop the Dough
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop spoonfuls of dough (about 1.5 tablespoons each) onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 5 cm apart.
- Sprinkle the streusel topping generously over each cookie dough mound.
Step 4: Bake the Cookies
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cookies are set but still soft in the center.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy!
- Enjoy the cookies fresh from the oven, or store them in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

🧠 Tips & Tricks
- Fresh or Frozen Blueberries: If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them first. Gently fold them into the dough to prevent color bleeding.
- Chill the Dough: If you have time, chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking will help the cookies hold their shape and give them a thicker texture.
- Customize the Streusel: Add chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts to the streusel for a nutty crunch.
- Make Ahead: You can make the dough ahead of time, store it in the fridge for up to 2 days, and bake them fresh when you’re ready.
