How to Make Blueberry Muffin Top Cookies
Tips for Success
Always use fresh ingredients, especially blueberries, to ensure the best flavor and texture. Fresh blueberries provide the perfect balance of sweetness and tartness. I don’t recommend making these with frozen blueberries. When mixing the dough, be careful not to overmix. Overmixing can result in tough cookies. Mix just until the ingredients are combined. Measure the flour accurately by spooning it into the measuring cup and leveling it off with a knife. Too much flour can make the cookies dense and dry. Ensure you space the cookies a few inches apart on the baking sheet. This allows them to spread evenly and bake properly.
Substitutions and Variations
You can also try other mix-ins like chopped blueberry pop-tarts, blueberry pie filling dolloped on top just before baking, or frozen blobs of cream cheese frosting surrounded by the cookie dough before baking for a unique twist. Some chopped pecans or macadamia nuts would add a wonderful nutty element and crunch that would pair really well with the flavor profile and texture of these cookies.
