Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Rubber spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Baking sheets
  • Parchment paper or silicone mats
  • Cookie scoop (about 2 tablespoons)
  • Wire cooling rack

Ingredients
  

Cookie Dough

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup sour cream room temperature
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
  • 1 cup blueberries fresh or frozen; if frozen, do not thaw

Crumb Topping

  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Vanilla Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2–3 teaspoons milk as needed for drizzling consistency
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  • Make the crumb: In a small bowl, stir together flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Drizzle in melted butter and toss with a fork until clumps form. Refrigerate while you prepare the dough.
  • Whisk melted, cooled butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar in a large bowl until combined and slightly lightened. Whisk in the egg, vanilla, and sour cream until smooth.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir with a spatula just until no dry streaks remain.
  • Gently fold in the blueberries, taking care not to crush them (if using frozen, work quickly to avoid streaking).
  • Scoop dough into 2-tablespoon mounds and place 2 inches apart on the prepared sheets. Top each mound generously with crumb mixture, pressing lightly so it adheres.
  • Bake one sheet at a time for 11–13 minutes, until edges are set and centers look just baked. Do not overbake for the soft, muffin-like texture.
  • Cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • For the glaze, whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth and pourable. Drizzle over cooled cookies. Let the glaze set before serving.

Notes

Use firm, fresh blueberries for best shape. If using frozen, do not thaw and expect some color bleeding; fold gently. For taller cookies, chill scooped dough 20–30 minutes before baking. Store airtight at room temperature up to 3 days or refrigerate up to 5 days; glaze shortly before serving for the best texture. Cookies freeze well (unglazed) up to 2 months; thaw and glaze after defrosting.
