How to Make Vegan Blueberry Cookies

Making this incredible vegan blueberry cookies recipe at home is super easy and will give you great results every single time. Here's how to make it step by step:

1. Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400F. This will make sure that it's at the perfect temperature for baking your cookies.

2. Mix Your Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. This will ensure that your dry ingredients are well combined, giving your cookies a uniform texture.

3. Thaw Your Blueberries: Use a microwave or stovetop to thaw the blueberries until they are soft and jammy. This will make them easier to incorporate into your cookie dough.

4. Cream Your Butter and Sugars: While the blueberries are cooling, take another bowl and add the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar. Cream them together until the mixture is light and fluffy.

5. Next, add the blueberries to the sugar and butter mixture and cream together. You want the blueberries to be completely mashed into the mixture. The mixture will get a deep purple color.

6. Combine Your Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add your dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and fold to form a dough. Be careful not to overmix.

7. Chill Your Cookie Dough: This cookie dough is a bit soft, so you will need to chill it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before baking.

8. Scoop Your Cookie Dough: Using a cookie scoop, scoop out the cookie dough and place it over a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Make sure to leave enough space between the cookies for them to spread.

9. Bake Your Cookies: Bake the cookies at 400F for 10-13 minutes or until slightly brown on the edges.

10. Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

11. Drizzle with chocolate: Melt vegan white chocolate in a microwave in 15-second increments until it's runny. Dip the fork into the chocolate and drizzle it over the cooled cookies. Let the chocolate set for 10–15 minutes before enjoying the cookies.
