Tips to Make Blueberry Crinkle Cookies

Variations

Feel free to get creative! You can add chocolate chips or nuts to the dough for extra flavor. You can also experiment by using different dried fruits!

FAQs

Q: Can I use fresh blueberries instead of dried ones?
A: Yes, but fresh blueberries might make the dough a bit wetter. Adjust the flour if needed.

Q: How do I know when the cookies are done?
A: The edges should be set and the tops should look crinkly. They will continue to cook slightly after you take them out of the oven.

Q: Can I make the dough ahead of time?
A: Absolutely! You can prepare the dough, chill it in the fridge, and bake the cookies later. Just allow it to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before shaping.
