Blueberry Cookies: Simple & Sweet
I’ve got a recipe for you today but it’s actually from last month’s fresh flavor. It’s for Blueberry Brown Sugar Cookies. Doesn’t that sound like a match made in heaven? I don’t think I would have combined blueberries and brown sugar on my own but the combo is incredible. These cookies have a nutty texture and make a wonderful light breakfast.
I made the mistake of skipping the “line cookie sheet with parchment paper” step. I use wonderful cookie sheets from Williams-Sonoma and honestly didn’t think I would need it. The bottoms of my cookies got a little crunchy…which actually didn’t take away from the flavor one bit. It added even more texture. If you don’t think you would like a crunchy bottom just use the parchment paper.
Blueberry Brown Sugar Cookies
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter (1 stick at room temperature)
- 3/4 cups brown sugar (firmly packed)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 3/4 cups fresh blueberries
- 1 3/4 cups flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup white sugar (for rolling)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, and cinnamon. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a standing mixer with the paddle attached, beat the brown sugar and butter for 3 minutes, or until fluffy. Make sure to scrape the sides of the bowl.
- Add the egg and vanilla, and mix well.
- Add flour mixture, and mix again.
- The dough will be a bit dry, so add the milk one tablespoon at a time.
- Fold in blueberries.
- Put 1/2 cup white sugar on a plate or piece of wax paper.
- Form balls of dough and roll in white sugar. I used a cookie scoop and dropped the scoops onto the sugar. Place balls on cookie sheet.
- Bake for 10 -12 minutes. Cookies are done when they are lightly browned around the edge.
- Cool cookies on pan for 1 minute, and then remove to wire rack to cool.

I love blueberries. I planted lots of bushes last year and we even had blueberries the first year, but at the end of the season hubby apparently did see them and mowed them all down. They didn’t come back this season, so I will have to get my blueberries at the farmers market till I plant more. Wonderful recipe for summer:)
