Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour

- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
Instructions

Tips & Variations

- To make these cookies gluten-free, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.

FAQs
Can I use dried blueberries instead of fresh?
Yes, dried blueberries can be used, but soak them in warm water for 10 minutes beforehand to plump them up and avoid drying out the cookies.
How do I prevent the blueberries from turning the dough blue?
Gently fold the blueberries into the dough at the end to minimize breaking them. Using fresh, firm berries also helps reduce color bleed.
