Notes

Store leftover cookies in an airtight container for 2 days. Shelf life of these cookies can be prolonged another 2-3 days by storing them in the fridge (since they contain fresh blueberries!)

Cookies can be frozen for up to 2 months.

Nutrition

How long are these cookies good for?

These cookies can be kept stored in an airtight container for up to 3-5 days. To keep the cookies nice and chewy I recommend keeping them stored in the fridge. Also, a trick I learned years ago, put a piece of bread in the container with the cookies. The cookies pull moisture from the bread and stay fresh and soft longer!

Tips for how to make better cookies:

It’s worth it to use an electric mixer! You can use a handheld one or a stand mixer; I prefer a stand mixer, but use what you have on hand.

Cream the Butter & Sugars for Longer. Spend a little extra time when you mix the butter and sugars. Creaming them together for 2-3 minutes will improve the consistency of your cookies.

Preheat the oven. This will help your cookies turn out right every time!

Cookie Scoops for Perfect Cookies. Use a cookie scoop! If you want all your cookies to be perfectly shaped and have them all be the same size, a cookie scoop is the way to go.

Make Sure your Cookies don’t Stick to the Pan! Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Doing this will make it easy to remove the cookies from your cookie sheet so that you don’t have to scrape them off the pan – they will just slide right off in perfect shape!

Take them out of the oven Earlier. Make sure not to overbake your cookies. They may not even look totally done on the tops, but if the bottoms start to brown, I take mine out and they are perfect!
