I have a ton laundry to do! It’s a never ending chore in this house. Instead of hauling my booty downstairs to do the laundry, I’m going to sit here and chat with you guys about these Blueberries & Cream Oatmeal Cookies, which is way better than folding socks.
How two people create such a massive amount of dirty clothes is beyond me, but I have several piles of sorted clothes on the basement floor to prove it. I’m a gigantic procrastinator. I always have been, so until I’m out of undies, the clothes will remain unwashed.
I adore oatmeal cookies, with their nutty flavor and chewy texture, who could resist? Not this gal. I wanted to create what I consider to be the perfect oatmeal cookie recipe. One that’s chewy on the inside and crunchy on the outside. These blueberries & cream oatmeal cookies are everything I’ve ever wanted in an oatmeal cookie.
I found dried blueberries at Costco the other day, so I decided to impart the flavors of spring into my newly created oatmeal cookie recipe. I added a generous helping of dried blueberries and white chocolate chips to mix. I also boosted the vanilla extract to give the cookies a creamy flavor and sprinkled in some lemon zest to brighten them up. They’re amazing!
I tested these cookies by baking them directly after mixing up the batter and after chilling them in the refrigerator for an hour. I found that both versions of the cookie taste and bake up equally the same. So, if you’re having a major cookie craving, go ahead and bake away.
These cookies were instantly gobbled up by family and friends. Every single person fell in love with them and proceeded to shove cookie after cookie into their faces.
Serve with a big ol’ cup of cold milk, and you have yourself a delicious snack.
