Ingredients:
Cookies:
- 1 cup frozen wild blueberries
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup white sugar
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- 2 large egg whites
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Crinkle Coating:
- ½ cup white sugar
- ½ cup powdered sugar
Instructions:
- Prepare Blueberries:
Place frozen blueberries in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 1-2 minutes until defrosted. Let cool to room temperature, 3-5 minutes, without draining. - Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. - Combine Wet Ingredients:
In a large bowl, mix the blueberries (and their juice) with sugar and oil until well combined. Stir in egg whites, lemon zest, and vanilla. Gradually fold in the flour mixture in two batches until just combined. Cover and refrigerate the dough for at least 2 hours to firm up. - Preheat Oven:
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. - Shape & Coat:
Prepare the coating by placing each sugar in separate bowls. Scoop about 1½ tablespoons of dough, roll into a ball, coat first in white sugar, and then roll in powdered sugar. Place each ball on the baking sheet, spaced 1½ inches apart. - Bake:
Bake for 8-10 minutes, switching racks halfway through. The cookies should be just set. Allow to cool briefly on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
These festive Blueberry Crinkle Cookies are soft, zesty, and sweet, perfect for sharing during the holidays! Enjoy the burst of berry flavor with each bite.
