I've got a small obsession with blueberries lately! Mostly, I eat them by the handful, but I decided to bake with them and take them to my Aunt and Uncle's as a gift for watching Dixie Lou. I stole a couple before I wrapped them up and they were good!
Blueberry Brown Sugar Cookies
Adapted from TastyKitchen.com
Ingredients
1 stick butter, at room temperature
3/4 c brown sugar, packed
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 3/4 c flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tbsp milk, more if needed
3/4 c fresh blueberries
Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Beat butter and sugar with an electric mixer, until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla, mixing well until combined, about 2 minutes. Stir in flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon with the mixer on low speed. Mix until dough comes together. Add in milk. If dough is still crumbly, add milk 1 tbsp at a time until it comes together. Fold in the blueberries gently with a spatula. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Remove dough from fridge and roll into 1 1/2 inch balls or scoop with an ice cream scooper. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Let cool completely.
i'm pretty sure that this marks the first time i've ever seen blueberries in a batch of cookies! i'd be afraid they'd release all their juices and make a flat, icky cookie, but i'm happy to see that that's not the case--bravo. :)
