Blueberry White Chocolate Cookies
It’s here – one of Hubby’s favorite times of the year – blueberry season!! We’ll be getting up bright and early tomorrow to head up north a bit to go blueberry picking. I swear Hubby eats more than he puts in the bucket, but that’s between you and me.
We’ve already been getting blueberries in our CSA box which has been awesome. Mostly, we’ve been mixing them in our yogurt for breakfast, but I wanted to bake with them too. You guys might remember that I actually don’t like raw blueberries (or cherries, or grapes). I’d much rather have those fruits in something baked.
I stumbled upon this cookie recipe and loved the idea of white chocolate and oats playing along with the blueberries in a cookie. I’ve made cookies with fresh blueberries in them before (it was a long time ago, be sure to click through to check out the pictures I took of those cookies! It’s kind of awesome to see where I started all those years ago…) I remember loving how the little berries burst in your mouth releasing their ripe juice in every bite. These cookies do the same thing and got rave reviews when I took them to a friend’s house.

This recipe looks fantastic, I would love to try it, any idea what I could use as a substitute for the frozen whipped topping? I think such a thing would be hard to find here, can I make it? x
wow that looks simple, and 3 muskateers are the “healthier” candy bar, right? hehe
Um, why is this recipe so easy? This could be deadly in my kitchen!
These are SUCH a good idea!! Seriously, I’m super impressed! 🙂

Wow! They look just like the real deal, and that recipe sounds way too easy. So dangerous!!

Homemade candy makes my feel not as guilty when I’m devouring a whole bunch 🙂
Seriously, you’re an amazing baker!! I would never think to make these at home. They look fantastic!
I was afraid to read through the whole recipe in fear I’d run straight to the kitchen. they look amazing
THis is my boyfriend’s favorite candy bar… I have to make these! 🙂
These sound amazing Jen! Super simple- yet incredibly indulgent and definitely would satisfy a sweet tooth…or two…

You are so talented! I wouldn’t have the patience to dip each of those little bites 🙂
I could not be trusted around these treats. They look too good to have just one, two or three….
I just made these homemade 3 Musketeers. My family said they tasted like the real thing, only a little richer. Mine were definitely not as pretty, they are so ugly 🙂
Oh yea Kristi, mine weren’t very pretty. The only pretty ones I could find are in the picture!
Wow! You MADE those? So impressed.
Made these with my grandson and they were great! My husband now won’t eat a store bought musketeers bar.

Isn’t that the good and bad thing about making stuff like this at home? Then you’ll never go back to store bought again!
Could you tell me how many cups is in a 8oz tub of whipped topping??

From Kraft’s website, an 8 oz. tub of cool whip yields 3 cups.
