Ingredients
Method
Prepare the Streusel Topping
- In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon. Mix well to combine.
- Add 1/4 cup of cold, cubed unsalted butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Set the streusel topping aside to chill while you prepare the cookie dough.
Make the Cookie Dough
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup of softened unsalted butter, 3/4 cup of granulated sugar, and 3/4 cup of packed brown sugar until light and fluffy. This process incorporates air into the mixture, helping the cookies rise.
- Add 2 large eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups of sifted all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tough cookies.
- Gently fold in 1 cup of fresh blueberries, being careful not to crush them.
Bake the Cookies
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Sprinkle the prepared streusel topping generously over each cookie dough ball.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set. The cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes
These cookies are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days. For an extra touch, drizzle with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and milk.
