    Tips and Tricks

    • You can use fresh or blackberries for this recipe. If using frozen blackberries, thaw them first. 
    • Avoid overworking the cookie dough. It can cause the cookies to become tough and chewy. 
    • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help to keep the cookies from spreading too much as they bake and will intensify the blue color. 
    • Don’t let the cookies overbake as it can cause the edges of the cookies to lose some of the blue color.

    How to Store Homemade Blackberry Cookies

    Cooked and cooled cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

    The unbaked cookie dough can be frozen. Shape the dough into a log and then wrap it tightly in plastic wrap. The cookie dough can be stored in the freezer for up to 4 months. When ready to use, thaw the dough before baking.

    Ingredients 

    • ¾ cup blackberries fresh or frozen
    • 1 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
    • ⅓ cup butter softened
    • ½ cup granulated sugar
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • ½ teaspoon baking soda
    • ⅛ teaspoon salt
    • ½ cup chocolate chips

    Instructions 

    • Puree the blackberries with a handheld immersion blender and set them aside. If you used heat to defrost frozen blackberries, ensure that they’re cool before adding to the dough.
    • In a medium bowl, cream the butter and sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add the cooled blackberry puree and the vanilla. Beat well.
    • In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Add to the blackberry mixture and stir by hand until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips, reserving about ¼ of them to add to the cookies after baking.
    • The dough will be very soft. Cover the dough and place it in the fridge to chill for at least 30 minutes.
    • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat.
    • Roll tablespoonfuls of the dough into balls. Place them onto the cookie sheet and press down slightly.
    • Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are set. Cool on the tray for a few minutes, and then press the remaining chocolate chips onto the cookies. Transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.

    Notes

    • If the cookies are overbaked, the edges might lose some of the blue color.
    • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help to keep the cookies from spreading.
    • Reserve ¼ of the chocolate chips to place on top of the cookies when you remove them from the oven. This gives the cookies a beautiful presentation.
