These BLUEBERRY COOKIES are like little miniature blueberry pies! So sweet and fun to eat!
I’ve been on a major blueberry kick this season, which is strange, because I don’t really even like blueberries all that much.
At least, not plain.
I will eat raspberries, blackberries, and strawberries all by themselves all day long.
Blueberries? No. Not a fan.
But, toss those berries in a blueberry streusel muffin or some other baked good and I. am. down.
These little blueberry cookies are like little handheld pies that are made with sugar cookie dough. They’re super adorable.
These are a bit time intensive, since there are a few different steps. If you’d like to cut down on time, use a can of blueberry pie filling instead of making your own! 🙂
How to make blueberry cookies:
To start, we’ll be whipping up a standard sugar cookie dough.
You know the drill – combine the sugar and butter, add in some flour and such, mix together, chill.
While the cookie dough is chilling, whip up your filling.
You could purchase a can of blueberry pie filling or you could make your own. You just need to add blueberries, water, cornstarch, sugar, and lemon to a pot and boil for a few minutes to thicken it all up. Let that mixture cool too.
Roll the sugar cookie dough out and use a circle cookie cutter to cut out little circles. I used a 3 1/2 inch cookie cutter for this and these were the perfect size.
Once all of your rounds are cut out, spoon a bit of the blueberry filling over half of the cookie rounds.
Cut an ‘x’ in the remaining cookie rounds.
Brush a little egg wash on the edges of the blueberry pie filled rounds and then top them with the ‘x’ marked rounds.
Brush the tops with egg wash and sprinkle with a little sugar.
These little cookies are ready for the oven!
Once they’ve baked, let them cool a bit and then dig in! They’re so adorable, you won’t be able to resist!

This is so good! I wanted to make mine larger, so I froze the blueberry filling in a mini muffin mold, then patted the dough around the frozen filling, then froze the whole thing and baked from frozen. The cookie was perfectly soft and delicious!
