Our daughter Katie really enjoys baking, and she recently made this blueberry cookies recipe for our family. And wow, are they delicious!
These blueberry cookies are chock-full of chunky white chocolate chips, fresh orange zest and mint garnish. It’s the perfect sweet summer snack.
Although you can use fresh blueberries, our daughter used a bag of frozen blueberries that we had from Costco.
The flavor in this blueberry cookie recipe is brightened with the addition of fresh-squeezed orange juice and lemon juice. Be sure to use a good-quality orange (we like the oranges from Riverside, California) for the best flavor.
Before zesting your oranges and lemon, be sure that you have washed them well. You also want to avoid getting any of the white pith, as that will make your cookies bitter.
