Ingredients for Blueberry TikTok Cookies

Okay, let’s talk ingredients – because trust me, the right stuff makes all the difference with these cookies! I’ve made this recipe so many times I could probably do it in my sleep, and here’s exactly what you’ll need:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour – spooned and leveled, not packed (we want them light and fluffy, not dense!)
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda – fresh is best for maximum rise
• 1/4 teaspoon salt – just enough to balance the sweetness
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened – leave it out for an hour until it gives when pressed (no microwave shortcuts!)
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar – for that classic cookie sweetness
• 1/4 cup packed brown sugar – the secret to chewiness (press it down in your measuring cup!)
• 1 large egg – room temperature blends better
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract – real stuff only, please!
• 1 cup fresh blueberries – washed and patted dry (frozen work too in a pinch)
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest – my favorite flavor booster (about 1 lemon’s worth)

See? Nothing crazy or hard to find – just simple, quality ingredients that work magic together. I always tell my friends: splurge on the vanilla and butter if you can. It makes all the difference between “good” and “OMG I need the recipe!” cookies.

How to Make Blueberry TikTok Cookies

Alright, let’s get baking! I’ve made these cookies so many times I’ve perfected every little step. Follow along and you’ll have bakery-quality blueberry cookies before you know it. The key is taking it slow and gentle – we want those blueberries to stay pretty and not turn our dough purple!

Step 1: Prep the Dough

First things first – preheat that oven to 350°F (175°C). Don’t skip this! A properly heated oven means even baking. While it’s warming up, grab two bowls – one for dry ingredients, one for wet. In the first bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Just until combined – no need to go crazy here.

Now the fun part! In your bigger bowl, cream the softened butter and both sugars together until they’re light and fluffy. This takes about 2 minutes with a hand mixer (or 3-4 minutes by hand if you’re feeling strong!). Scrape down the sides, then beat in the egg and vanilla until just combined. Here’s where you need to resist overmixing – we want tender cookies, not hockey pucks!

Step 2: Fold in Blueberries

Gently add your dry ingredients to the wet mixture. I do this in three additions, stirring just until the flour disappears each time. Now for the star of the show! Take your fresh blueberries (make sure they’re dry!) and lemon zest, and fold them in with a rubber spatula using big, sweeping motions. Be patient! If you’re too rough, those berries will burst and turn your dough blue. A few streaks are fine, but we want most berries whole for those pretty purple pockets.

Step 3: Bake to Perfection

Line your baking sheets with parchment paper (trust me, it’s worth it). Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough, spacing them about 2 inches apart – these babies spread! I use a small cookie scoop for even sizes, but two spoons work too. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are just golden but centers still look slightly underdone. They’ll keep cooking as they cool! Let them sit on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before moving to a wire rack. This waiting is the hardest part, but it prevents cookie breakage.

Pro tip: If baking multiple sheets, rotate them halfway through for even browning. And don’t worry if some berries burst – that just means extra jammy goodness in those cookies!

Expert Tips for the Best Blueberry TikTok Cookies

After making countless batches of these viral cookies (my friends don’t complain!), I’ve picked up some game-changing tricks:

• Chill the dough for 30 minutes if you can wait – it prevents overspreading and makes the cookies extra thick and chewy (but honestly, they’re still amazing baked right away!).
• That lemon zest isn’t optional! It brightens up the whole cookie and makes the blueberries taste even sweeter. Use a microplane for the finest zest.
• Frozen berry hack: Toss them in 1 tbsp flour first – stops them from bleeding everywhere when you mix them in.
• Baking sheet secret: Let it cool between batches or your next batch will spread too fast from the residual heat.

Oh! And don’t forget – these taste even better the next day when the blueberry flavors have settled in. If they last that long!

Ingredient Notes & Substitutions

Okay, let’s talk swaps because I know we don’t always have the perfect ingredients on hand! Here’s what absolutely works (and what doesn’t) in these blueberry TikTok cookies:

Fresh vs. frozen blueberries: Fresh berries are ideal, but frozen work great too – just toss them in flour before folding in to prevent a purple dough disaster! No need to thaw, but pat off any ice crystals.

Butter alternatives: Vegan butter works surprisingly well if you need a dairy-free version. Coconut oil can sub in a pinch, but the texture won’t be quite as rich.

Flour options: For gluten-free, I’ve had success with 1:1 gluten-free flour blends, though the cookies spread slightly more. Whole wheat flour makes them denser – I’d do half all-purpose, half whole wheat for best results.

One thing I wouldn’t change? That lemon zest! It’s the secret flavor booster that makes these cookies sing.

Serving & Storing Blueberry TikTok Cookies

Oh, the joy of biting into one of these warm blueberry cookies fresh from the oven! But wait—there’s more magic to uncover. These cookies transform beautifully depending on how and when you enjoy them.

Serving ideas that make them shine: A cold glass of milk is classic, but try them with lemon-ginger tea—the flavors dance together perfectly! For breakfast (who am I kidding, I’ve done it), pair them with Greek yogurt and extra blueberries. Feeling fancy? Dust with powdered sugar right before serving for bakery-style prettiness.

Storage secrets: Keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days (if they last that long!). For longer storage, freeze the baked cookies between parchment layers—they thaw in minutes at room temperature. Want that fresh-baked feel? Pop them in the microwave for 10 seconds and enjoy that warm, gooey blueberry goodness all over again!

Nutritional Information

Okay, let’s talk numbers – but remember, these are estimates! Your exact counts might vary depending on your butter brand or how big you scoop those cookies. Here’s the scoop per cookie (based on making 18):

• Calories: About 120
• Sugar: 8g (blame those sweet berries!)
• Fat: 5g (but it’s the good butter kind)

Not bad for a treat that tastes this indulgent, right? Of course, if you’re like me and eat three at once… well, maybe don’t do the math!
