This soft chocolate chip cookie recipe has the unusual addition of blueberries.
When my friend told me her recipe had blueberries in it, I was shocked. I had never heard of blueberries in a cookie and couldn’t imagine that they would taste that great, even though I love blueberries.
The truth is they are the most amazing cookies I have tasted. I think I ate three that day!
An added benefit is that blueberries are so amazingly healthy for us. I use every opportunity to get more blueberries to my diet, breakfast, lunch, dinner or dessert.

If you love blueberries, these cookies are a must try. They are amazing.
White chocolate chips replace the regular chocolate chips in this recipe. They go nicely with the blueberries and add a light sweetness to the cookies. Omit the chocolate chips for a delicious blueberry cookie on its own.
Of course the addition of blueberries makes this a bit of a healthy cookie recipe too. If you really want to up the nutritional value of these fantastic cookies, replace 1/2 the white flour with whole wheat flour. I always sift whole wheat flour before I bake with it to lighten it up a bit.
If you can’t get your kids to eat enough fruit, try this great cookie recipe.
Soft Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe with Blueberries
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup butter, cubed, plus extra for greasing
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/3 cup brown sugar

- 1/2 cup blueberries, fresh
- 1/4 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375ºF.
- Lightly grease a large baking sheet.
- Sift the flour, baking powder, and cinnamon into a bowl. Rub in the butter or margarine, using your fingertips, until the mixture resembles rough bread crumbs, then stir in the sugar.
- Stir in the milk, blueberries, and chocolate chips until just combined (the dough will be quite sticky}. Spoon 8 mounds, spaced well apart, onto the baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes at 375ºF, or until golden and springy to the touch.
- Cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving. Makes about 12 cookies.

Variation:
- You can use regular chocolate chips with this recipe instead of the white chocolate if you prefer. I’m not sure how butterscotch chips would work but you can try them.
