Blueberries are probably the most reliable fruit I find in the grocery store year round. Would I prefer fresh berries from my own bush at home or from the farmer's market during blueberry season? Yes. However, when those options aren't available blueberries in the supermarket are among the best.

Yes, you could use frozen blueberries but I find that it's hard to remove the extra moisture from most frozen berries.

How to Make Blueberry Cookies

This is a typical cookie recipe made with simple pantry staples. It starts with the dry ingredients including flour, baking soda, and salt.

Butter, sugar and brown sugar beat together in a mixing bowl.

Then in a separate large bowl cream together the wet ingredients including room temperature butter, sugars, eggs, and vanilla extract.

In addition, I added a little lemon zest and juice and some oats for more flavor, and extra texture.

They come out all golden brown and delicious. Soft cookies that might remind you of blueberry muffins but in a chewy cookie form.

Once they cool you can place them in an airtight container in single layers separated by wax paper for several days or freeze them for the future.

    Patti,
    FYI, wanted to let you know these did soften up quite fast. To crisp up, I put in the air fryer for about 3 minutes. They crisped up like a cookie and were wonderful. The stayed crisp also.

  I agree that would be ridiculous. However, it says .5 cups or 1/2 cup. I'll change the wording to make it more clear. Sorry for the confusion.
