Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon natural baking powder
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup plant-based butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup plant-based milk
- 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
Main Flavor
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium-sized bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and natural baking powder to ensure even mixing and a light texture.
- Cream the Butter and Sugars: Using a hand mixer or whisk, beat the plant-based butter with both brown and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This incorporates air to keep the cookies tender.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: Add the apple cider vinegar, plant-based milk, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and vanilla extract (natural) to the creamed mixture. Mix thoroughly until smooth.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients and Blueberries: Gradually fold in the sifted flour mixture along with the natural gelling agent, mixing just until combined. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries last to avoid breaking them and discoloring the dough.
- Portion and Bake: Scoop tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden and the centers remain soft but set.
- Cool and Enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to finish cooling. This firms them up perfectly for serving.
Notes
- Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor and texture.
- Measure flour carefully by spooning and leveling to avoid dry cookies.
- Do not overmix the dough to prevent toughness.
- Chill the dough for 1 hour before baking to reduce spreading and achieve chewy texture.
- Bake one sheet at a time for even results.
