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.

I am Jen the Beantown Baker. Engineer by day and baking maven by night. Hubby serves as my #1 fan and official taste tester. We got hitched back in 2006. Barefoot. In the sand. With the waves crashing behind us. It was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. 
Isn’t it the BEST feeling when your husband says they love something?? Especially when you make things all the time.
I am a huge fan of blueberry muffins but adding peach might be a new twist on an old favorite. Looks great!
Ooh, blueberry peach in a muffin? YUM!
OOOh, that sounds great! I always make blueberry muffins-we all love them and recently made my first (!) peach pie! I can just imagine how good that must be!

This isn’t a combination I would think of! Looks yummy!
Blueberry and Peach? How Cool!? I love to find different combinations that are not the every day norm! Thanks for sharing this one!!
Wow that looks delish! I actually have some peach jam I need to finish up myself. Is it really tender enough without any butter or oil?
Yes Xiaolu – They’re very tender and moist
Yum! Peach and blueberry are great together! I bet my husband would like these too.
You are SO great with flavor combinations!! I LOVE this idea!! I’m glad you liked the recipe, but I’m sure the AMAZZING part of them came from your awesome personal twist! YUM!
What great end-of-the-summer flavors!
These muffins are perfect for summer. They sound delicious:)
Those look great 🙂 Now I want blueberry muffins… LOL
