Makes 34 cookies
-
1
cup unsalted butter, cut into small chunks
-
3-1/4
cups all purpose flour
-
1-4/4
teaspoons baking powder
-
1
teaspoon baking soda
-
1-1/2
teaspoons salt
-
1-1/2
cups packed light brown sugar
-
1/2
cup granulated sugar
-
2
eggs
-
2
teaspoons pure vanilla extract
-
7-3/4
ounces chopped white chocolate chunks (the best quality you can find)
-
3/4
cup toasted hazelnuts, roughly chopped
-
1/2
cup dried blueberries (sweetened)
-
flaky sea salt for sprinkling tops, such as Maldon salt (optional)
- Preheat oven to 360 F / 180 C. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment.
- In a small bowl, cover blueberries with about a cup of hot water and let it sit for 10 minutes, drain and set aside.
- In a small saucepan, melt butter over low heat. The butter should just be melted warm to preserve the moisture. Alternatively you can also melt the butter in a microwave oven for 2-3 minutes until butter is melted, stirring every minute until butter turns into a liquid.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Place sugars in a mixer bowl, pour in melted butter. Mix with a paddle attachment on medium until the ingredients are well incorporated. Add in vanilla extract, and eggs one at a time, mix well after each addition.
- With the mixer on low speed, incorporate flour mixture until it is no longer dry, about 20 seconds, scrape bowl. Add in the rest of the ingredients - nuts, chocolate, and blueberries to incorporate, just until they have been well distributed into the dough, avoid over-mixing.
- Scoop cookies into about 2 tablespoons each or use a #24 cookie scoop. Place cookies about 3" apart on the parchment lined cookie sheet, sprinkle salt on top of each one.
- Bake cookies one tray at a time in preheat oven for 10-14 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through. Cookies should be slightly golden around the edges, gooey and soft in the middle. Don't over-bake for soft and chewy cookies! Cool cookies before removing them from the tray.
