Enjoy this blueberry cookies recipe with oats for a little extra fiber and bulk. It's a delicious fresh and chewy sweet you'll love any time of day.
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.
These fresh blueberry cookies made a nice gift for me to take to a little getaway with my girlfriends. Perfect as a quick breakfast, snack, or anytime treat.

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.
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.

Fold in the blueberries at the last minute to keep them nice and whole.
Then use a cookie scoop to place them on a cookie sheet for baking.
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.
Fresh blueberries in a cookie. Definitely a good idea.

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.

5cups of Sugar with 21/4 cups of flour!
I wouldn't even touch the recipe!!
Patti Estep
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.

That's a hoot Patti!, 5 cups of sugar. I didn't see the 5 cups. hehe They sure would have been sweet. Love it. Have fresh blueberries and making this today. I know they will be good. Anything blueberry is good. I'll let you know how they turn out.
