Blueberry cookies are sweet treats made with either dried, frozen, or fresh blueberries. To create blueberry cookies, simply start with sugar cookie dough or a chocolate chip cookie recipe and swap out the chocolate chips with blueberries. Oats, brown sugar, and any other things you think of when you think of a crumb muffin topping should be added to your blueberry cookie mixture to replicate the characteristics of a blueberry muffin. Use fresh berries or totally defrost your berries if you want to produce naturally purple cookies. The blueberries should be microwaved for a few seconds, mashed, and allowed to cool to room temperature before being included in the cookie batter. As an alternative, frozen berries assist the cookies to maintain a stronger shape while baking by preventing the cookie batter from becoming completely purple.
Ingredients:
• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 pinch salt
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 2 eggs
• ½ tsp lemon extract
• ½ cup milk
• ½ cup butter
• 1 cup white sugar
Method:
• Set oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees C). Butter a baking sheet.
• Salt, baking powder, and flour are sifted together.
• Cream butter or margarine and sugar in a sizable bowl. Add eggs and lemon seasoning after beating. Beginning with the milk, stir in the flour mixture in three separate additions. Add blueberries and combine gently.
• Drop batter by tablespoons, spacing them 1 1/2 inches apart on the prepared sheets.
• 12 to 15 minutes for baking
Notes:
• With more delectable fillings, you can't go wrong. Try adding rolled oats, slivered almonds, chopped pecans, or walnuts for a slightly nutty texture to make a heartier biscuit.
• For a delicious version of this recipe, you can replace the blueberries with fresh strawberries, raspberries, or even cherries. These cookies would be fantastic in a mixed-berry variation as well.
• The centres of your cookies should always be somewhat soft when you remove them from the oven. On the cooling rack, they will continue to cook for a few more minutes. This guarantees that you don't overbake them and that they always come out soft and chewy.
