  3. Gradually add ½ cup of granulated sugar and ½ cup of brown sugar to the creamed mixture, mixing until light and creamy.
  4. Crack in one large egg and pour in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, then beat until fully combined and smooth.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet mixture, gently blending until just combined.
  6. Gently fold 1 cup of blueberries into the cookie dough using a spatula.
  7. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
