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. 
Loving the look of this recipe. Is it tart enough so that I could can it using using the water bath method, or do you think I should employ pressure? I’m about to come into a dozen pints of blueberries, and I’m trying to be creative. 🙂
Ohmygodness! I made it and I’m in love! 🙂
Greetings from Poland!

So glad you enjoyed this! Glad to have a friend in Poland 🙂
I made your curd as part of my newest recipe (Eeyore’s Birthday Cake–angel food cake with blueberry curd filling), and I just wanted to say that it turned out fantastic! The curd was really easy to make and super delicious. 🙂

Hope this worked well for you. I used one batch for a triple layer cake.
I was thinking about making this for a shower cake do you know if it would blueberry curd freezes well?
So I’m not sure what I did wrong, but I just made this recipe and it seems something went awry. It didn’t come out very purple, more like a bluish gray, and it doesn’t really taste like blueberries. I used 1 cup of frozen blueberries. Did I use the wrong kind of blueberries maybe?
Hello is it possible to can this recipe?
