Recipe preparation

Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

  • All-Purpose Flour: Essential for structure; make sure it’s fresh for best results in your cookies.
  • Granulated Sugar: Adds sweetness; you can also use brown sugar for a deeper flavor.
  • Unsalted Butter: Softened butter creates that rich taste and tender texture we all love in baked goods.
  • Baking Powder: Ensures your cookies rise beautifully; don’t skip this crucial ingredient!
  • Eggs: They bind everything together; use large eggs at room temperature for optimal mixing.
  • Fresh Blueberries: Use ripe berries for maximum flavor; frozen works too if fresh isn’t available.
  • Cinnamon: A dash adds warmth and depth; feel free to adjust based on personal preference.
  • Brown Sugar (for Streusel): Adds moisture and a hint of caramel flavor to the topping.
  • Oats (for Streusel): Provides texture and chewiness in the delightful crumbly topping.

Let’s Make It Together

Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until combined. The scent of cinnamon will definitely get you excited!

Cream Butter and Sugar: In another bowl, cream softened butter and sugars until light and fluffy. The mixture should be pale yellow and smell amazing.

Add Eggs and Mix Well: Beat in eggs one at a time until fully incorporated. Don’t forget to scrape down the sides of the bowl so no batter gets left behind!

Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add dry ingredients into the wet mixture while stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing unless you enjoy tough cookies (we don’t).

Fold in Blueberries Carefully: Gently fold in fresh blueberries using a spatula. Be careful not to crush them—nobody wants blue-tinted dough!

Prepare the Streusel Topping: In a small bowl, mix together oats, brown sugar, flour, and melted butter until crumbly. This topping is what dreams are made of!

Scoop onto Baking Sheet : Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough onto prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Sprinkle each mound generously with streusel topping.

Bake Until Golden Brown : Bake for 12-15 minutes or until edges are golden brown but centers remain soft. Let cool slightly before devouring them all.

These Blueberry Muffin Cookies with Streusel Topping will surely become an instant favorite whether you’re hosting brunch or simply indulging yourself on a cozy afternoon! Don’t forget to share…or not!
