How to Serve Blueberry Cookies

You can serve these Blueberry Cookies warm or at room temperature. They are perfect on their own or paired with a glass of milk or a cup of tea. Enjoy them as an afternoon snack or a sweet dessert.

How to Store Blueberry Cookies

To store your Blueberry Cookies, keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you want them to last longer, you can freeze them. Just place the cookies in a freezer bag, and they’ll stay fresh for about three months.

Tips to Make Blueberry Cookies

• Make sure your butter is softened but not melted. This helps create a nice fluffy texture.
• Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor, but you can also use frozen ones if that’s what you have.
• Don’t overmix the dough after adding the flour; it’s okay if a little flour is visible.

Variation

You can add a pinch of lemon zest to the dough for a refreshing citrus flavor. If you’re not a fan of white chocolate, feel free to swap it for dark chocolate or nuts!

FAQs

1. Can I use frozen blueberries?
   Yes! You can use frozen blueberries, but make sure to gently fold them into the dough and do not thaw them first.

2. How do I know when the cookies are done?
   The cookies are done when the edges are lightly golden. They will continue to cook slightly after you take them out, so don’t overbake them!

3. Can I double the recipe?
   Absolutely! Just double all the ingredients and be sure to bake them in batches if your oven isn’t large enough to fit everything at once.
