Why I love this recipe
I absolutely love blueberry cookies! Not only are they delicious, but they also make for a perfect dessert for any occasion or just a yummy snack. The recipe is simple and easy to make, so you don’t have to spend too much time working in the kitchen.
The cookies themselves are soft and chewy with a hint of blueberry flavor that’s perfectly balanced out by the sweetness of the sugar. To top it off, the bright, fresh blueberries add an extra touch of sweetness and flavor.
You can use frozen blueberries to make these cookies but you can also use fresh blueberries during blueberry season! To me, these are the best blueberry cookies!

Ingredients
- frozen blueberries
- salted butter, softened
- white sugar
- light brown sugar
- all-purpose flour
- baking powder
- vanilla extract
- white chocolate bar (or white chocolate chips)
Step by step
- Preheat oven, line cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- If using frozen berries, heat in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat until they have thawed and soft. Remove the thawed blueberries from the heat and allow to cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, mix the butter, sugar and light brown sugar together until smooth and creamy.
- Add in cooled blueberries and beat on high speed of your electric mixer or use a hand mixer until completely combined.
- With a rubber spatula, stir in the all purpose flour, baking powder and vanilla extract until just combined.
- Fold in the white chocolate.
- Using a cookie scoop, scoop dough and place on prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes until the edges have just set and begin to turn golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and allow to sit on a cooling rack for 5 minutes before enjoying!
TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS
- You can also use fresh blueberries for this blueberry cookie recipe. You will need to lightly dust the tops of the blueberries with sugar so that they “sweat” and produce juice before adding to the cookie dough.
- For an extra pretty presentation, reserve a few chocolate chunks to press into the top of the dough before baking.
Variations
- For the perfect summer cookie, add some lemon zest or lemon extract to complement the sweet blueberries. Lemon blueberry cookies are refreshing and make the perfect cookie for a cookout!
FAQ
For chewy blueberry cookies, let the cookie dough rest in the fridge for at least an hour. The cold air removes some of the moisture, resulting in chewy cookies, but don’t leave them in too long or they will be dry.
Store fresh cookies in an airtight container after cooling completely to room temperature. Cookies should be laid in a single layer separated by parchment paper or plastic wrap, which is the best way to keep them from sticking to one another. The container can be kept on the kitchen counter for 3-4 days.
Melted and softened butter will create two very different results. For this recipe, be sure to only use softened butter.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS
Serve these homemade blueberry cookies cooled on their own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for special occasions.
If you’re serving leftover cookies, you can even warm them for a few seconds in the microwave for a cookie treat that’s just as good as a fresh blueberry cookie!
