Ingredients
  

For the cookies
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries Do not use frozen blueberries for best texture.
  • 1/2 cup brown butter Brown until nutty for added warmth.
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest To create a bright flavor.
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour Consider slightly increasing to counteract fruit moisture.
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch For softness.
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips Optional for added sweetness.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Brown the butter in a saucepan over medium heat until it turns golden and has a nutty aroma.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the brown butter and granulated sugar, whisking until smooth.
  4. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cornstarch, and lemon zest.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
  7. Fold in the fresh blueberries and white chocolate chips, being careful not to overmix.
  8. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Baking
  1. Scoop the dough onto a prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each ball.
  2. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set and golden. The centers will look underbaked.
  3. Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

Chilling the dough is key to achieving a thicker, chewy cookie. The cookies pair well with a lemon glaze or a sprinkle of fresh herbs for added sophistication.
