Berry Cookies, a delightful fusion of tangy berries and rich cookie dough, are a perfect way to enjoy the vibrant flavors of summer year-round. These cookies capture the essence of fruity desserts, combining the sweetness and slight tartness of berries with the comforting warmth of freshly baked cookies.
Ingredients
Scale:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup rolled oats
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, and chopped strawberries)
1/2 cup white chocolate chips or dark chocolate chips
Zest of one lemon (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir in the rolled oats and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, followed by the vanilla extract.
Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
Gently fold in the mixed berries and chocolate chips, being careful not to crush the berries.
Drop tablespoon-sized mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers appear set.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
