Cookies become breakfast food.
Midnight snacks too.
You pass them off as two servings of fruit. Or three.
You sleep-eat cookies.
You closet-eat cookies.
They somehow disappear.
You weep.
Face, meet cookies. Cookies… I apologize.
Few things in this house bring excitement like a soft, fluffy cookie filled with bursting, plump blueberries. Me? Shoes and sea-salted chocolate. Him? Steak and Taylor Swift. In the non-creepy, he’s-old-enough-to-be-her-dad kind of way.
Yeah. I know.
Who wants a cookie?
Brown Sugar Blueberry Cookies
makes 12-15+ cookies
1 stick butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 tablespoon milk
3/4 cup fresh blueberries
Preheat oven to 375.
Beat butter and sugar with an electric mixer until smooth. Add egg and vanilla, mixing well until combine, about 2 minutes. Stir in flour, baking powder, salt, and 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon with the mixer on low speed. Mix until dough comes together. Add in milk. If dough is still crumbly, add milk 1 tablespoon at a time until it comes together. Fold in blueberries gently with a spatula – it is okay if they break a bit. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Remove dough from fridge and roll into 1 1/2 inch balls or scoop out with an ice cream scooper. Bake at 375 for 10-12 minutes. Let cool completely.
Cookies > muffins. Or maybe… cookies = muffins. Cookies/muffins?? I really don’t know. I told you I’m terrible at math.
I’m Jessica and this is where I share my stuff. You will find a balance of healthy recipes, comfort food and indulgent desserts.
Just pulled these bad boys out of the oven – unreal!! They are the perfect fluffy, muffiny, cinnamonny cookie. Can’t wait to have one with my morning coffee. I was close to adding lemon zest or white chocolate chips. So glad I didn’t. They are perfect as is. Thanks for the recipe!! Will definitely be making these again.

How did you get them fluffy? I made some last week and they were amazing but not as fluffy ass i thought they would turn out. please respond.

Did you make any changes to the recipe? Did you accidentally use baking soda instead of baking powder? The only other things I can think of is that your baking powder may be expired/old, or your butter was too melted. The butter should only be at room temperature.
I just baked these. I doubled the recipe so there would be some for the others in my household! I added some chopped pecans, since that was the only way to get my Mom to eat one…and it definitely made them kick even more! I think topping them with sugar is a necessity with this recipe. So good. Thank you.

I wonder if you added more milk than the rest of us. My cookies, too, turned out very dry (like scones) and did not spread. The first batch came out at 14 minutes, cooked and dry on the outside, still un-done in the middle and in the same round shape I put them in. Second batch I rolled and then pushed down myself into a cookie shape; when I took them out at 10 minutes the outsides were cooked but still very dry and the middles, again, were not baked. Not sure what to do with the rest of the dough b/c I can’t go back and add milk without destroying the blueberries…. The dough smells far far far to good to get rid of, though…..

Try cooking them at a lower temperature. It will take a little longer but it should cook more evenly.
These cookies are great! I added a box of dry instant white chocolate pudding mix in place of some of the flour, and they are so moist and delicious. I was supposed to bring them on a picnic tomorrow…I don’t know if I can talk myself in to sharing!

How much of the flour do you think you left out for pudding mix? that sounds amazing!
Reply

I measured out the pudding mix ( a box is about one cup) then left out that much flour. I like to do this for a lot of different cookie recipes, mix and match different flavors to different cookies.
I’m always searching for cookies for to put in my care packages to send overseas to my husband. Do you think if I vacuum sealed/packaged these they would get there ok? If not, do you have any suggestions for any of yours that would? Thank you!!!!

I don’t see why not, I think they should be okay!

I just pulled these out of the oven! Delicious! I think Alex was right, though, a little sugar on top would have made them perfect…and that’s just because I got bitter blueberries! They definitely won’t be going to waste!

Just made these and yep, these would make great breakfast cookies, but I don’t think they’re going to make it that long!

WOW…My twin granddaughters and I picked fresh blueberries from my yard and decided to try blueberry cookies…I am so glad I found this recipe, it is awesome, moist, yummy cookies. I’m making another batch now. Can you freeze these cookies? Now I don’t mind picking blueberries because I have a great recipe.

My sister made these cookies for our Labor Day party, and they were so delicious. Everyone loved them and wanted the recipe. So, I sent it to all who asked for it. They are wonderful cookies, I will be making these a lot.

Currently making these for the second time this week (double batch this time!). My boyfriend and my roommates (and me) gobbled these up in about a day the first time! YUM!
(Forgot to put milk in until the end this time. oooops.)

Can we use frozen blueberries, my freezer is full of blueberries that I picked last summer, do you think the cookies would come out alright, I thought I would ask before trying as not to waste a batch. thanks
Reply
Jessica — December 19th, 2011 @ 4:29 pm
If you use frozen, I would make sure they are completely thawed and patted dry with a paper towel – otherwise I think they will give off too much water!

Hah, saw this right after I posted mine. :D
i just made these for my husband & i pretty much had to fight him to get any. i got about 24 with my batch (he just ate half of them!) & they were perfectly fluffy & muffin like. i did end up putting in 2tbsp. of milk instead of one but i wouldn’t make any changes or add anything else to these, they’re perfect as-is. my husband wants these to become a household staple now, lol (: thank you for sharing!

Do you think frozen blueberries would work very well?

These cookies are the easiest to make!!!! My friend and I are having a bake sale and this was a quick and easy thing to do. DO NOT beat the blueberry’s because if you don’t then the blueberry’s are big and juicy!!! They look delicious can’t wait to eat one!!!!!!

I had some blueberries, didn’t know what to do with them, don’t care for cinamon so I left it out, hope they taste good, baking now

Just took these out of the oven. My kitchen smells amazing! I followed the recipe exactly and they came out just like the picture. This one is a keeper!

I love the sound of these! I can’t wait for fresh blueberries to be cheaper at the store.

Made these with my 2 year old today, they really are fantastic, thanks for sharing the recipe!

I just made these and they turned out perfect- also didn’t add any milk (lactose allergy) and had to cook them for about 17 minutes. I used Dole frozen blueberries and it make them nice and moist from the juice.
Reply
These were delicious! I made them with wild Himalayan blackberries I picked along a local bike path, like a sneaky ninja! Himalayan blackberries are a nasty invasive, so I don’t feel bad, but I still hid my little tupperware in my purse anytime anybody rode by. Not sure if that made me look more or less suspicious. . .

Can I used Self Raising flour instead? If yes, how much?
Reply
Wow these were spool good. I kind of tweeked them a little since I don’t care for cinnamon with blueberries. I omitted the cinnamon and added a little lemon juice about a tbsp and instead of milk I went for sour cream. When I folded in the blueberries I also put small chunks of cream cheese in. These are a permanent addition to my cookie folder and I cant wait for blueberry season from now on. Thanks

My sister and I broke in her new Kitchen Aid with this recipe yesterday and it was fantastic!! We made 24 smaller cookies and they came out as the most adorable little nuggets – I’ll probably flatten the balls a little more next time if I opt to do small cookies again, but they were ever so cute that way as well. Even her ultra-picky husband came back for seconds, so I’ll call that a success. Thanks!
