How Do You Make Blueberry Cookies?
Ingredients:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees f.
To prevent the cookies from sticking to the baking sheet, line it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. This will make it easier to remove the cookies once they are baked.
Whisk together dry ingredients in a medium size bowl.
Heat berries in the microwave in a small bowl at 30 second intervals stirring after each interval for 1-2 minutes until berries are soft and liquifying. Or place in a small pan on the stove and heat over medium heat for 3-5 minutes.
Cream butter and sugar together with an electric mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in blueberries at high speed.
The high speed in necessary to incorporate the berries with the butter mixture, if it is separating increase the speed.
Mix in the flour mixture into the wet ingredients.
Fold in the white chocolate chips with a rubber spatula.
For best results, cover dough with plastic wrap and place the batter in the freezer for about 30 min, or the fridge for about an hour.
Shape into 12 cookie balls or scoop with a large cookie scoop and drop dough on a prepared cookie sheet. Add a few more chocolate chunks to the top cookie dough balls.
How Long Do You Bake Blueberry Cookies?
Place in the oven for a baking time 10-13 minutes until your cookies are slightly golden brown and have crispy edges. Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a 5-10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This allows the baked cookies to firm up and develop their full flavor.
Pro tip: Add a hint of lemon with some lemon zest as a secret ingredient! The zest adds a subtle zing to complement the sweetness of the blueberries.
To keep the cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, you can freeze the cookies in a freezer-safe container or bag for up to three months.

@momma lew I've made these twice now - the first time I cooked the blueberries too long and the dough was incredibly dry (a bit of milk slowly added helped). The second time turned out much better and are now hands down the favorite cookie of the household, thank you for sharing this fabulous recip3!

Hmmmm a few things could it be. I am not sure of your location, but things like your altitude, the weather, humidity come into play. You can add a piece of bread into your airtight container to help bring moisture into your cookies. Or maybe add a little bit more butter.
