Print Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1/4 cup fresh spruce tips, finely chopped (or substitute with pine needles)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Cream the butter and sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add eggs and vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
  • Combine dry ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon (if using).
  • Mix the dough: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Gently fold in the blueberries and chopped spruce tips.
  • Scoop the cookies: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
  • Bake: Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked, but they will firm up as they cool.
  • Cool and dust: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.
