ingredients

(Tip: You can find the complete list of ingredients and their measurements in the recipe card below.)

• Frozen blueberries
• Salted butter, softened
• Granulated white sugar
• Light brown sugar
• All-purpose flour
• Baking powder
• Vanilla almond bark, chopped

directions

1. Preheat oven: Set the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Cook the blueberries: In a skillet over medium-high heat, warm the frozen blueberries for 4–5 minutes until they are soft and juicy. For fewer chunks, cook a bit longer and mash with a spoon. Allow to cool to room temperature.
3. Cream butter and sugars: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with the granulated and brown sugars using a hand or stand mixer until creamy and smooth.
4. Incorporate blueberries: Add the cooled blueberries to the butter-sugar mixture and beat on high until fully combined. The dough should turn a vibrant purple and be evenly colored.
5. Add dry ingredients: Mix in the flour and baking powder until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
6. Add almond bark: Fold in the chopped vanilla almond bark until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
7. Scoop the dough: Use a 1½-inch cookie scoop to portion out the dough and place on the prepared baking sheet, spacing the cookies out well.
8. Bake: Bake for 9–10 minutes, or until the edges begin to turn golden and the centers are set.
9. Cool: Let cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

storage/reheating

To Store: Keep cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for 3–5 days. Place parchment or wax paper between layers to prevent sticking.

FAQs

Can I use fresh blueberries instead of frozen?

Frozen blueberries are recommended for a richer color and smoother texture, but fresh can be used if briefly cooked down in a pan first.

Why do the cookies turn purple?

Beating the cooked blueberries into the dough releases natural pigments, creating a vibrant purple hue.

Can I use unsalted butter?

Yes, simply add 1/4 teaspoon of salt to the dough if using unsalted butter.

What is vanilla almond bark?

It’s a sweet, vanilla-flavored candy coating often used for baking or dipping. It melts easily and adds creaminess and texture.

Can I chill the dough before baking?

These cookies don’t require chilling, but you can chill for 15–20 minutes if your kitchen is warm.

Why is it important to beat the blueberries into the butter and sugar?

Beating them at this stage ensures better color distribution and prevents the dough from becoming too wet when added later.

Can I double the recipe?

Yes, double all ingredients and bake in two batches to avoid overcrowding the baking sheet.

Can I make this dairy-free?

Substitute the butter with a plant-based alternative and use dairy-free white chocolate or almond bark.

How do I get the perfect cookie shape?

Use a cookie scoop and space cookies evenly. For rounder cookies, gently shape the edges with a spoon right after baking.

Do I need to let the blueberries cool before adding to the dough?

Yes, adding hot blueberries can melt the butter and affect the dough’s consistency.
