  3. Add granulated sugar and brown sugar to the mixture, beating until fluffy and well combined.
  4. Incorporate the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully blended.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to ensure even distribution of the dry ingredients.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
  7. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough without being crushed.
  8. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between each ball to allow for spreading during baking.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes or until the edges be to turn golden brown. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Optional: Dust the cookies with powdered sugar before serving for a lovely presentation.
