- 1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla extract
- 1 cup (105 g) fresh blueberries

Instructions
- Preheat the oven and prepare the baking sheet: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

- Mix the batter: Stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Gently fold in the blueberries.
- Scoop and shape: Use a cookie scoop to form dough balls. Optionally roll the balls in sugar before placing them on the baking sheet.
- Bake: Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes until the edges are set and golden brown.
- Cool and enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer them to a rack to cool completely.
