Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup blueberry pie filling
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and packed brown sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the two large eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the teaspoon of vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt until evenly combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the dough.
- Gently fold in the 1 cup of blueberry pie filling using a spatula, ensuring that it is evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading while baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set. The cookies may look slightly underbaked in the center, which is fine as they will continue to cook on the baking sheet.
- Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your Blueberry Pie Sugar Cookies warm, or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week!
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Ensure your butter is truly softened but not melted for the perfect cookie texture.
- Don't Overmix: Mix the dough just until ingredients are combined to keep cookies tender.
- Distribute Blueberry Filling Evenly: Gently fold the pie filling to create beautiful swirls throughout the dough.
- Space Cookies Properly: Leave 2 inches between cookies to prevent them from merging while baking.
- Watch Baking Time Carefully: Remove cookies when edges are golden but centers look slightly underbaked for that perfect soft texture.
- Cooling is Crucial: Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to prevent breaking.
- Storage Tip: Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to a week.
