    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I use fresh blueberries instead of frozen ones?

    Yes, you can use fresh blueberries, keep in mind that they are larger than the frozen wild blueberries so you may want to toss them in some flour to prevent them from sinking to the bottom of your cookies.

    Can I freeze blueberry cookies?

    Yes, you can freeze blueberry cookies. Place them in a freezer-safe container or bag and store them in the freezer for up to 3 months. Be sure to separate layers with wax paper to prevent damage.

    How long do Blueberry Cookies last?

    Once the cookies have cooled completely, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They should last up to a week, but taste best within the first 3-4 days. They can be frozen for up to 3 months.

    Expert Tips

    When making these cookies, there are a few expert tips and tricks that I've learned along the way to help ensure the best results perfect batch every time.

    • Cornstarch: Adding cornstarch to the flour mix helps to create a tender and soft cookie structure. It also contributes to the cookies holding their shape well while baking.
    • Frozen vs Fresh Blueberries: Although the recipe calls for frozen wild blueberries, you can also use fresh blueberries. Keep in mind that frozen berries may release more juice when mixed into the dough, which can slightly affect the texture of the cookies. Make sure to adjust baking time accordingly.
    • Preventing Blueberries from Sinking: Tossing the blueberries in a small amount of flour helps to prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the cookie. You can use about a tablespoon of flour from the recipe for this purpose.
    • Using a Cookie Scoop: A medium cookie scoop (about 2 tablespoons) is perfect for portioning out the dough for evenly-sized cookie dough balls.
    • White Chocolate Chips: I like to save some chips or white chocolate chunks to add to the top of the cookie balls just before baking. If you like flatter cookies, press down the balls on the baking sheet before baking.
    • Mixer: If you don't have a stand mixer, feel free to use an electric mixer and a large mixing bowl to mix your cookie dough but be sure to fold in the delicate blueberries with a spatula.

    • Swap out the white chocolate chips for dark chocolate chips or milk chocolate chips.
    • Add chopped nuts, such as pecans or walnuts, to the cookie dough for added crunch.
    • Replace the blueberries with raspberries or blackberries for a different flavor profile.
