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 jammy texture. This makes a big difference in the final product. If you want to use fresh blueberries 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!
Your final color may vary- I’ve had some people wonder if these pictures have been enhanced to achieve this beautiful color and the answer is no. This is the actual color my cookies turned out. However, because blueberries can vary a lot the final color of your cookies may not be as vibrant, but they still be filled with blueberry flavor! The type of blueberries you use matters too! Regular frozen blueberries vs wild blueberries will make a difference in the color, texture and flavor of the cookies.
Swap the white chocolate chips– If you don’t like white chocolate chips, or want to mix up these cookies you can use other mix ins! If you want pure blueberry flavor you can omit the added white chocolate chips and just make them plain! These blueberry cookies are also tasty with dried blueberries mixed in, or chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans. You can try this recipe with a mixture of your favorites and see what you like best!
Here’s what you’ll need for these blueberry white chocolate cookies-
1 Cup All-Purpose 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 Blueberry Cookie recipe –
In a medium bowl whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. Mix until combined.
In the bowl of a stand mixer or in a large bowl use an electric mixer to cream together the softened 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 all the flour mixture is well incorporated. Scraping down the sides with a spatula to make sure everything is well mixed. 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 cookie scoop or spoon scoop out 12 even size cookie dough balls and place on the baking sheet 1-2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies for 10-13 minutes or until very slightly golden brown around the edges and the surface appears dry.
Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 -10 minutes before moving to a cooling rack to finish cooling completely.
After cooling store the cookies in an airtight container .
Enjoy!

I found this recipe on Blueberry.org
Hi
Your cookies looked amazing but when i made into a ball & placed them in oven they never expanded they stayed into the ball
What did i do wrong they did not flatten like your cookies
Why frozen blueberries rather than fresh?
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).
Can I make this with regular butter, instead of vegan butter?
Mine turned out like a ceimble no dough not sure what I did wrong as I cannot bake these.
My are too crumble to roll into a ball. What did I miss?
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.
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.
I’m so glad you love them so much!
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!!
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.
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.
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.
Thank you for sharing your tips! I’ll have to try the blueberry emulsion in my next batch!
Can I leave these in the fridge overnight and bake in the morning for breakfast?
Yes! That should work well!
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.
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.
This looks really good please send me the website thank you
Tried these today for the first time. Followed your recipe to a “T”. There has to be something missing because there was no moisture and unable to even form balls with the dough. Truly a waste of time and good ingredients. They came out of the oven exactly as they went in. Actually three of them just crumbled. What a hot mess.
Ok, that was a waste of time and ingredients..I’ve followed the recipe line by line, there is definitely ingredients missing.
Dough way to dry, not been able to keep the dough together and they never flattened.
Can I please print out my recipes

10mins burned my cookies.
