Tips, Storage & FAQs

Tips

• Use fresh blueberries for best results; frozen berries may add extra moisture.
• To prevent blueberries from bleeding color, gently pat them dry before folding into dough.
• A small cookie scoop ensures even sizing and baking.

Storage

• Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
• Freeze unbaked dough balls for up to 2 months — bake from frozen by adding 1–2 extra minutes to bake time.

FAQs

• Can I use frozen blueberries? Yes, but expect slightly softer cookies due to added moisture.
• Why did my cookies spread too much? Be sure your butter is just softened, not melted, and don’t skip measuring the flour properly.
• Can I make these gluten-free? Use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend — results may vary slightly in texture.
