09 - Generously sprinkle each cookie mound with the prepared streusel topping.
10 - Bake for 13–15 minutes until edges are set and tops are lightly golden.
11 - Let cookies rest on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The texture is impossibly soft and cakey, like the center of an bakery muffin but with crispy edges
  • They come together in under 40 minutes from start to finish
  • The streusel topping creates this buttery cinnamon crunch that makes them completely irresistible
02 -
  • Overmixing the dough will make these tough instead of tender
  • Frozen blueberries should go straight from freezer to batter to prevent purple streaking
  • The streusel needs cold butter to stay crumbly and create that perfect texture
03 -
  • Room temperature butter mixes more evenly and creates better texture
  • Measuring flour by weight ensures consistent results every time
