Ingredient Tips - Make sure to check the expiration date on your baking soda and baking powder. If they're too old they lose their potency.
Specialty Ingredients - You can use frozen or fresh blueberries for this recipe. I like to use smaller wild blueberries (it makes the dough hold together better and ensures every bite has blueberries).
Recommended Tools - I recommend using parchment paper that's the same size as your baking sheets - this is the ready-to-use parchment paper I like and here are the sheet pans I like.
