5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
6. Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to break them.
7. Shape Cookies: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
8. Bake: Place the tray in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
