Delicious Blueberry Cookies

Baking With Blueberries

Having recently made blueberry muffins, I was tempted to try blueberry cookies. Not as popular seemingly as the muffins of as chocolate chip cookies. Indeed this is just an adapted Chocolate Chip cookie recipe. And it is a really good recipe. Like with muffins the berries kind of burst and spread a little.

These blueberry cookies are not too sweet and quite soft – not very biscuity but a rough texture and very delicious! I don’t like the really sugary cookies, like some of the commercially made ones. If you cook these a little longer they will be a little more crumbly. They are an excellent teatime treat or a lovely extra in your lunch box

This blueberry cookie recipe makes about nine cookies. They are soft, delicious and lovely for a lunch box treat and delicious with a cup of tea or coffee

The Blueberry Fruit

Blueberrys is one of the few fruits that I buy out of season and that is shipped from abroad (the others are bananas and satsumas). Although UK blueberry production is apparantly on the increase, still much of it comes from abroad. Blueberries it seems have a long shelf life and are easily shipped from the country of origin,(and not flown) often from Chile.

Apparently in the last couple of years blueberries have become more popular than raspberries. Some articles seem to suggest they are displacing them. I hope not. I don’t really see them as either or. In fact they are lovely eaten together with yoghurt!

When our native raspberries and strawberries are in season I eat an abundance of them. In fact because of their health giving properties, maybe we should be eating many more berries of all types.

Blueberry Cookies – A Real Treat

Having said all that, I don’t think we can claim that blueberry cookies are all that health giving. It is just good to have a bit of goodness in a cookie. I also checked up to see if a cooked blueberry is just as good for you as a raw one and the good news is that, although there is some alteration in the composition they are just as good for you

Easy, Low Cost Cookie Recipe

Cookies are very easy to make. They cost between £1 and £1.50 in supermarkets so I thought I would work out the cost of making your own

This recipe makes 9-10 cookies so the equivalent of 2 packets at £2-£3 and costs about £1.25 for 9. No horrible additives either!

It will also depend on the price you buy your blueberries too.
