🛒 Ingredients
🗒️ Step by step instructions
Before you Start: Heat oven to 375F and line cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Step 1. Make brown butter by melting butter in a metal sauce pan on medium-high heat until you start to see small brown flecks forming on the bottom of the pan. Keep stirring until it turns golden brown and then pour into a separate bowl and let it cool down.
Step 2. Mix brown butter, light brown sugar and white granulated sugar in a mixing bowl until combined. Next add 2 eggs and vanilla extract and mix again.
Step 3. Add flour, baking soda and salt and mix again until just combined. Finally fold in fresh blueberries, gently mixing them in to prevent them from bursting.
Step 4. Bake for 10 minutes and then cool before enjoying!
👩🍳 Top tips
- Don’t over mix: Over-mixing will give you tough cookies so make sure you mix just enough to bring the batter together.
- Gently fold in blueberries: You want to keep the blueberries intact so that they don’t stain the cookie batter dough blue!
- Weigh cookie dough: You want all your cookies to be the same size so they bake at an even temperature.
- Don’t over bake: The cookies will look under done when you pull them out but don’t worry as they harden as they cool!

🙋 Frequently asked questions
A way to ensure that you have an even amount of blueberries would be to add the blueberries on top of the cookies 5 minutes in of baking them!
- Browning butter is pretty quick, so make sure you keep an eye on the pan and keep stirring.
- Use a stainless steel/white pan so that you can see the color change. It’s more difficult to tell on a non-stick pan.
- Make sure to quickly take the butter off the pan and into a bowl once it’s ready to stop the browning process. Leaving it in the pan can cause the butter to burn.
Each cookie weighs around 55-60 grams. You can play around with the size of the cookie! The larger the cookie ball the more cake-like it will be (just note that it will probably be a longer baking time).
