How To Make Blackberry Cookie?
Preparation times: 20 minutes
Cooking times: 12 minutes
Course: Dessert
Cuisine: American
Yields: 24 cookies
Equipment Needed
- Large mixing bowl
- Hand or stand mixer
- Medium bowl
- Whisk
- Spatula
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Baking sheets
- Parchment paper
- Wire rack
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup frozen or fresh blackberries
- ¼ cup white chocolate chips or chunks
- Extra white chocolate chips for garnish
Instructions
1. Cream the base
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with both granulated and brown sugars until the mixture turns light and fluffy—this usually takes about 3 minutes. Make sure no clumps of brown sugar remain for a smooth texture.
2. Add wet ingredients
Crack the eggs in one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract, ensuring the mixture is fully combined and silky.
3. Combine dry ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Slowly add this to the wet mixture, blending at low speed until it is just incorporated. Avoid overmixing to keep your cookies tender.
4. Prepare the blackberries
Thaw the frozen blackberries, either in a pan on the stove or in the microwave, then puree with a hand immersion blender. Set aside to cool.
5. Fold in additions
Then with the hand gently mix the blackberries puree and white chocolate chips into the dough.
6. Chill for firmness
Cover the dough and chill for at least 30 minutes. This helps the flavors meld and prevents spreading during baking.
7. Preheat and prepare
While the dough chills, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
8. Shape and bake
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Press a few extra white chocolate chips on top of each cookie for that picture-perfect finish.
9. Bake to Perfection
Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers should look soft but set. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Tips and Variations
◉ Add lemon zest: Brighten the flavor with a teaspoon of fresh lemon zest.
◉ Use dark chocolate: Swap white chocolate for dark chocolate chips for a richer taste.
◉ Frozen blackberries: If fresh blackberries aren’t available, frozen ones work too. Just thaw and pat them dry before adding.
Fresh blackberries bring a brighter flavor and firmer texture. If you use frozen, thaw and drain them well to prevent excess moisture from affecting the dough.
FAQS
Why are my cookies spreading too much?

Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Can I freeze the dough?
Yes, freeze pre-portioned dough balls and bake straight from the freezer, adding 2-3 minutes to the baking time.
