Gourmet Blueberry Muffin Cookies

Gourmet Blueberry Muffin Cookies combine the best elements of blueberry muffins and cookies into a delightful treat. Here's a recipe to help you make these delicious cookies:

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for rolling)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until well combined.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined after each addition. Do not overmix.
6. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries and rolled oats into the cookie dough, being careful not to crush the blueberries.
7. Scoop the dough using a cookie scoop or tablespoon and roll it into balls. Roll each ball in granulated sugar to coat.
8. Place the coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them a few inches apart to allow for spreading.
9. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
10. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
11. Once the cookies have cooled, serve and enjoy your gourmet blueberry muffin cookies!

These cookies are best enjoyed within a few days of baking. You can store them in an airtight container at room temperature. The recipe yields approximately 2 dozen cookies, so adjust the quantities accordingly if you want to make more or fewer cookies. Happy baking!
