🍽 KEY INGREDIENTS
Frozen blueberries – Fresh blueberries can be used. Frozen blueberries are great to use when fresh blueberries are out of season.
Vanilla extract – Any brand will do, as long as it is good quality.
White chocolate bar – White chocolate chips can be used instead.
Swaps
Flour – Gluten-free flour, such as Bob’s Red Mill, can be used instead.
Add-Ins – White chocolate chips can be used instead of the white chocolate bar.
Sugar – I’ve used a combination of granulated sugar and light brown sugar for these cookies. You could use granulated sugar only, although I find that brown sugar creates delicious moisture for chewy cookie centers.

💭 COOKING TIPS
- Allow the heated blueberries to cool before adding them to the rest of the cookie batter ingredients, or the heat from the softened blueberries can affect the outcome of the cookies.
- The softened blueberries with released juices are what give these cookies their purple hue. If you want a deeper color, consider adding some gel food coloring to the cookie batter.
- Using a cookie scoop to measure out the cookie batter will ensure uniform-sized cookies that will bake evenly.
- I always prefer to use a silicone baking mat or line my baking sheets with parchment paper instead of greasing it as the extra grease can cause cookies to spread more.
- Allow the blueberry white chocolate cookies to cool for a few minutes on the baking tray before transferring them to a cooling rack to help prevent them from falling apart.
