    Blueberry Chocolate Chip Cookies are a perfect combination of a delicious blueberry muffin and a scrumptious chocolate chip cookie. They always draw a crowd!Stack of Blueberry Chocolate Chunk Cookies with one broken in half.

    Cookies with Fresh Blueberries and Chocolate

    I love blueberry muffins and I really love chocolate chip cookies.

    For a while I've been wanting to develop a cookie that combines both of these delectable treats.

    I happen to think blueberry muffins are typically blueberry cake in the shape of a muffin, and that's why I wanted these cookies to have somewhat of a cake-like texture.

    They're indeed a cake-like cookie recipe with crispy edges and pops of delicious, fresh blueberries and decadent, melting chocolate.

    What makes this recipe special?

    Aside from the amazing texture and flavor, these cookies are glazed.

    You might be looking at the images wondering where exactly the glaze is. It's there --  it's a very translucent thin coat over the top surface of each cookie.

    And while it might seem odd to treat this sort of cookie in this manner, with a glaze, that is -- doing so creates the most wonderful super thin "crust," that will keep you reaching for more and more cookies!

    Sometimes it's all in the details.

    What's in this recipe?

    • fresh blueberries
    • semisweet chocolate
    • all-purpose flour, baking soda
    • butter
    • brown sugar
    • granulated sugar
    • fine salt and coarse salt
    • vanilla extract
    • eggs

    These ingredients are combined in a way that creates the most delicious cookies ever!

    Can you freeze them?

    Yes you can. However, do not freeze them with the glaze. Add the glaze after they've been thawed and you're ready to serve them.

    I hope you enjoy every last crumb of this over-the-top, delicious Blueberry Chocolate Chip Cookies.

    Ingredients
     
     

    For the glaze

    • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
    • 2 tablespoons fresh blueberries, finely chopped into a pulp
    • 2 teaspoons all-purpose flour

    For the cookies

    • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
    • 1 cup packed golden brown sugar
    • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
    • 2 large eggs
    • 2¼ cups all-purpose flour
    • ½ teaspoon baking soda
    • 1 cup fresh blueberries
    • 1½ cups semisweet chocolate chips
    • about 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt

    Instructions
     

    For the glaze

    • In a small bowl, combine the sugar, blueberry pulp and flour. Mix until it's as smooth as possible. Set aside.

    For the cookies

    • Set the oven and prep the baking sheets. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
    • Make the batter. In a large mixing bowl, combine the butter, both sugars, salt and vanilla. Mix until it's smooth.
      Add the eggs and mix until it's as smooth as possible. It might look lumpy at this stage -- don't worry, as it will even out when you add the flour.
      Add the flour and baking soda and mix only until the flour is completely incorporated. (Do not mix any more than necessary.)
    • Add mix-ins. Gently fold in the blueberries and chocolate. Some of the blueberries will break as you fold them in -- that's okay.
    • Shape. Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to shape the cookies into dollops (1 to 2 tablespoons each), about 2 inches apart, on the parchment-covered baking sheets.
    • Glaze. Use a pastry brush to very lightly coat the surface of each dollop with the glaze. (If you don't have a pastry brush, you can use a teaspoon to drizzle it on top, and then spread it with the back of the spoon.)
      Sprinkle each one with a bit of the coarse salt.
    • Bake. Bake in the preheated 350°F oven just until the cookies are golden along the edges, 10 to 12 minutes. They should still look doughy when you remove them from the oven -- they will firm up a bit as they cool.
    • Cool. Leave them on the baking sheet to cool for at least 15 minutes.

    Notes

    These cookies will not be perfectly symmetrical. For a slightly more defined shape, roll the dollops of dough between your hands before placing them on the baking sheet.
    Calorie count is only an estimate.

      Do you think frozen blueberries would work? I would rather use fresh, but I live in Illinois, and since they aren't in season here, they are very expensive. Thanks! 🙂

        Hi Shannon, I do think they'd work, but since I haven't tested it that way, I'm not exactly sure how the texture might change. I would thaw them completely and then toss them is just a bit of flour -- just to barely coat them. Let me know how it goes! 🙂

      Have you tried making and freezing the dough? If so, how long does it stay good for? (I like to have things handy for when unexpected guests drop by). Thanks!

        Hi Vikki- I haven't frozen this particular cookie dough before, but I often make, shape and freeze cookie dough. I think 4 to 6 weeks is a good limit. (Longer will be okay, just not quite as good.) I love having cookie dough at the ready, too! 🙂 Thanks for stopping by.

      You had me at blueberry! This is a super unique cookie idea, Valentina, and I know I'd be all in on these. I love blueberry muffins, and these cookies totally remind me of the tops of blueberry muffins. The chocolate chunk is a fun way to mix it up, too!

      Wow! Was feeling in need of a cozy baked treat, craving cookies while by my lonesome in quarantine (apart from my black cat, and during the start of Spooky Season, no less!) and wanted to use what was in my kitchen — blueberries and chocolate chips! What divine luck that yours was the first recipe I came across — serendipity!
