I have a confession, I’m not on Tik Tok!
Partly it is because up until 2 weeks ago I had a 6 year old phone that wouldn’t even download the app, and partly because I know myself well enough to know that I would waste a whole lot of time if I downloaded it!
However, it is almost impossible to miss some of the amazing things that go viral, and some of them just seem way too good to pass up! One of the recipes that I heard about was one that sounded amazing, blueberry cookies!
Now I am a huge fan of blueberry muffins so the idea of blueberry cookies sounded right up my alley! And these chewy blueberry cookies didn’t disappoint! There is a reason they went viral! In addition to being delicious the blueberries give them a beautiful purple blue color that is irresistable! If you love blueberry desserts these are a definite must make!
Giving credit where it is due these were originally created by Justine Snacks , I’ve tweaked it a bit, but I always like to the original recipe developer if I can!
In my opinion these are some of the best blueberry cookies out there! They are soft chewy cookies that are made with simple pantry staples that you can keep on hand to whip up a batch whenever you have a craving!

Here’s some tips for making these cookies-
Use frozen berries– For this recipe you’ll need frozen blueberries. There is something about freezing them and then heating them that helps them break down into a nice blueberry jam like texture. This makes a big difference in the final product. If you have fresh blueberries that you want to use you can freeze them first. This is a great way to use berries picked at the height of blueberry season that are full of blueberry flavor and use them later!
Line your baking sheet– Lining your cookie sheet with parchment paper is the best way to keep them from sticking so that you can easily remove them when they’re done baking.
Don’t overbake– With the color of these cookies it can be hard to tell if they are fully baked because they don’t really turn golden brown. They should look dry and may be a little golden around the edges. They will continue to set as they cool. Not overbaking helps them keep a nice soft texture. So watch the baking time to get the perfect results.
Make them vegan– These cookies don’t have eggs so they are super simple to make in a vegan version. Swap out the butter for a vegan butter or even coconut oil, whichever you prefer. You’ll also want to make sure that your white chocolate chips are also vegan.
Double the recipe for more– This is a fairly small batch of cookies, it will make about a dozen. If you’re feeding a crowd (or just love cookies) you can double the recipe to make more!
Here’s what you’ll need for these cookies-
1 Cup Flour- all purpose flour is best
½ tsp. Baking Powder– Make sure your baking powder is fresh for best results
1/8 tsp. Salt- I like to use Himalayan pink salt, but regular table salt works perfectly.
1/3 Cup Butter– You can use salted or unsalted butter make sure that it is softened to room temperature
1/3 Cup Sugar – White granulated sugar or cane sugar work perfectly
1/3 Cup Frozen Blueberries
½ Cup White Chocolate Chips- Use your favorite brand. You can also use white chocolate bark and cut it in chunks.
Here’s how to make this cookie recipe –
In a medium bowl combine flour, baking powder and salt. Stir until well blended.
In the bowl of a stand mixer or in a large bowl using an electric mixer cream together butter and sugar until well blended, light and fluffy.
Place frozen berries in a microwave safe bowl. Heat in 30 second increments stirring in between until the berries have a nice jam like texture. You can also heat them in a small saucepan over medium heat stirring frequently for 3-5 minutes
Add the blueberries to the butter mixture and mix starting on low speed and increasing to high speed. High speed in necessary to incorporate the ingredients, if they seem to be separating turn up the speed and continue to mix.
Add in the dry ingredients and continue to mix until they are well incorporated. The cookie dough will change color when you add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. It goes from a dark purple/pink to a lighter purple/blue.
Fold in the white chocolate chips, stirring until they are evenly distributed.
Place the cookie batter in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
When you’re ready to bake preheat your oven to 400, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using a scoop or spoon scoop out 12 even size balls of dough and place on the baking sheet 1-2 inches apart.
Bake for 10-13 minutes or until very slightly golden brown around the edges and the surface appears dry.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes before moving to a cooling rack to cool completely.
After cooling store the cookies in an airtight container .
Enjoy!

I found this recipe on Blueberry.org
Norma says
Hi
Your cookies looked amazing but when i made into a ball & placed them in oven they never expanded they stayed into the ball
Norma says
What did i do wrong they did not flatten like your cookies
Sandra McDonough says
Why frozen blueberries rather than fresh?
Heather says
I added an egg and a splash of vanilla. I know it’s no longer vegan but I just couldn’t leave it out of a cookie recipe. The color of the dough is amazing; the baked cookie is not as vibrant as the pictures. Maybe because of the egg? Maybe because of a filter on the recipe pictures? The dough tasted very blueberry-y. The baked cookie also tastes like blueberry but not as pronounced. They baked up like little cakes even though I did press them down (I read a review that said the dough doesn’t spread). I made some without the chips and my family and I think they are better with the chips. I also think you could omit the chips, roll the ball in cinnamon sugar and have a blueberry muffin-snickerdoodle type cookie (albeit a puffy cookie, not a flat type snickerdoodle).
Lynn says
Can I make this with regular butter, instead of vegan butter?
Amy Perry says
Mine turned out like a ceimble no dough not sure what I did wrong as I cannot bake these.
Deb Davis says
My are too crumble to roll into a ball. What did I miss?
Tracy says
These are more of a blah biscuit dough. I tried it again and added egg and lowered the cooking temp and they cooked better but still tasted very much like flour. Color was definitely not as vibrant as the picture. Not my favorite cookie.
Deb Crossman says
Since discovering this recipe about a month ago, I’ve made about 10 batches!
No, they don’t flatten when cooked, was going to flatten them prior to cooking but tasted from the first pan. The texture was like a wonderful shortbread. I left them in balls.
Everyone I’ve shared with, can’t get enough of them, in fact, baking two more batches today for a friend.
Krista says
I’m so glad you love them so much!
Ellen Ferrari says
I made these today and I really really liked them and will make them over and over again. I would add some more blueberries just because I didn’t get that much blueberry flavor but I did love the taste. I read the reviews before I made them so I knew to press down the balls and they came out perfect. Thanks for the delicious recipe!!
Maureen says
I did not read the reviews before baking, Checked them after 8 min. Cooking and realized they did not flatten so I flattened with a fork and cooked 3 more min. and I got two that didn’t burn on the bottom. Flavor was good and as someone mentioned crumbly when forming ball so not able to flatten before cooking.
Lori says
There must be ingredients missing in the recipe. I made these exactly to the recipe. There was no moisture in the dough at all, just a purple-ish colour. What a waste of time.
Sandy says
If the dough is crumbly you can add a little milk or cream. I have a dough sheeter to flatten them and use cutters for shapes. For more blueberry taste, you can add LorAnn Blueberry Emulsion. Yes, I’m a baker. Good recipe.
Krista says
Thank you for sharing your tips! I’ll have to try the blueberry emulsion in my next batch!
Bobbie says
Can I leave these in the fridge overnight and bake in the morning for breakfast?
Krista says
Yes! That should work well!
Jake Tuckey says
I’ve made 3 batches of these and the original recipe sucks. Add 1/4 cup of Coffee Mate Natural Bliss Vanilla creamer to the recipe and cook at 375° for 10 minutes and they will be slightly tan on bottom and still gooey in the middle. Much much better.
Anonymous says
I’ve made these several times. Im always very happy to find cookie recipes without eggs. The dough is moist and manageable. Make sure to cook your blueberries long enough. I do kinda flatten mine after reading the comments.
