I found this recipe on Pinterest and it was exactly what I needed to brighten my life on this gloomy day. I had some left over blueberries from a recipe I used the other day and I wanted to use them before they went bad. I considered putting them on oatmeal and using them up real quick, but I decided that wasn't exciting, or yummy enough, so I looked at my recent pins on Pinterest and I found this baby.
The recipe goes as follows:
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 large egg
2 heaping cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/4 teaspoon salt
*1 cup fresh blueberries
1/4 cup granulated sugar & 1/2 tablespoon cinnamon for rolling cookies in
Preheat oven to 375°F.Beat together butter, vegetable oil, granulated sugar, powdered sugar, and egg. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt. Slowly beat flour mixture into the butter mixture. Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to crush them. Otherwise you'll end up with purpleish-blue cookies, but if that's your thing, then go for it!
In a small bowl, combine the 1/4 cup granulated sugar and cinnamon. Shape dough into 1-inch balls, then roll in cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Place balls 3 to 4 inches apart on a greased baking sheet. With a flat-bottomed glass dipped in cinnamon-sugar, slightly flatten cookies. Be careful not to totally crush the berries though. Again... blue cookies.
Bake for 11-13 minutes, or until edges being to slightly brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cookie comes out clean. Allow to cool.
Makes about 2 1/2 dozen cookies.

The blueberries are so gooey and warm. I promise, you won't regret making this.
Thank you Bake Girl for this yummy recipe!
Can't wait to try this! You two are way too cute by the way
ReplyDeleteThese look amazing. I love the addition of blueberries, very clever.
ReplyDeleteOh Camilia, Thank you! I miss you by the way...
ReplyDeleteYou definitely have to try them! The thought to put blueberries in snicker doodle cookies has never crossed my mind, but now that I have tried it I will never have normal snicker doodle cookies again.
