Recipe: Blueberry cookies

in #uk3 days ago

I've made this before and made it again!

It's great having recipes you know you love, and this one I think is cooler than normal blueberry biscuits because of the way it makes the dough blue/purple!

the dough!

The recipe I use is from Cookie Dough Diaries, I think it's nice and clear, and more importantly to me, quick!

Some blueberry cookies freeze the berries so that they stay intact in the dough, but I know this recipe also uses frozen ones, but I have always used them fresh!

The ingredients

  • 105 grams butter
  • 200 grams granulated sugar (I adjusted it to 180 grams)
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla essence
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 250 grams plain flour
  • 2/3 cup blueberries

The steps

I microwaved my fresh blueberries for about 30 seconds (in 10 second bursts), and carefully mashed it. After this, I placed the bowl of mashed berries in the fridge for about 10 minutes just like the recipe details.

After this, I beat together the butter and sugar until it was light and fluffy using an electric whisk. When this was ready, I added in the jam-like blueberries and combined this in completely, adding in the egg and vanilla essence.

Now it was time to add in the (sifted) flour, salt and baking powder, mixing until a dough formed. I used 2 baking trays and put 1 tablespoon worth of dough balls evenly spaced out.

Then I baked them at 175 degrees Celsius for about 13 minutes, I had an issue with the lower tray (I put both in) but pushed past it!

done!

I had about 12 total from this recipe, despite it predicting 20 total, I must have made them bigger.

Hope you enjoyed this recipe!

Sort:  

I love the colour of the biscuit dough @jen0revision. I wonder how strong the taste is.

It wasn't too strong in my opinion, it had a unique texture though I think!
