Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

- Scoop Cookies: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, place 12 mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Press a few extra blueberries on top of each cookie if desired for extra burst of flavor.
- Bake: Bake the cookies for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are set.
- Cool: Let the cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store: Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
