Equipment

  • cookie sheets
  • small saucepan
  • Mixing bowls
  • electric mixer
  • cookie scoop

Ingredients
  

Blueberry Swirl

  • 1 ¾ cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 2 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon corn starch

Cookie Dough

  • ½ cup unsalted butter at room temperature
  • ½ cup packed light brown sugar
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¾ cup pure white chocolate chunks
  • ½ cup Blueberry Swirl mixture from above

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Make the blueberry mixture. Add the blueberries and sugar into a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat while stirring frequently until the mixture has reduced by about half. Stir in lemon juice. Create a slurry with 1 tablespoon of blueberry juices and corn starch, then pour into the saucepan. Stir and boil for 10 seconds, then let cool and refrigerate.
  • Make the cookie dough. Combine butter, sugars, lemon zest, and vanilla in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until pale and fluffy.
  • Beat in the egg until well combined. In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Add dry ingredients to the butter mixture and mix gently until incorporated. Fold in white chocolate chunks.
  • Divide the dough in half. Mix the blueberry mixture into the dough in portions to minimize over-mixing, maintaining a marbled look.
  • Chill the dough while preheating the oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  • Use a 1 oz cookie scoop to place mounds of dough on prepared sheets, spacing them 3 inches apart. Bake for 14-16 minutes until edges are browned and tops are golden.
  • Let the cookies cool for a minute on the sheets before transferring them to a wire rack.

Notes

Store cookies in an airtight container for up to a week.
