When will this craziness end? The weather has been a constantly changing threat in the area all week long. First, we begun with an earthquake (luckily with no damage). It was so foreign to NJ and NY. And now we are preparing for hurricane with some possible negative ramifications. The food stores were like a madhouse today full of scurrying customers in search of water, batteries, flashlights, generators, and food. After some likewise shopping of my own and some fun craft purchases to keep me busy during the looming possibility of a long power outage, I knew we would be in for some fun! Well, as soon as I heard we could stuck without power (translate to not being able to cook/bake), hubby and I started baking! We whipped a few batches of brownies and muffins for the family to enjoy, as well as these yummy cookies chock full of fresh, summer blueberries! These are slight adaption of white chocolate raspberry cookies made earlier this summer. They were such a huge hit with everyone, we gave them a "re-mix" with blueberries. Summer certainly has been unpredictable this year!
Jade, from The Mess Pot, hosted the What's Baking Challenge this month, and her choice was to Celebrate Summer with a nice, fresh summer recipe. So since I had some local blueberries, I simply incorporated them into part of this yummy cookie recipe.
8 oz butter (2 sticks), softened
1 cup sugar
1/2 can sweetened condensed milk (7 oz)
2 cups self-rising flour
7 oz white chocolate chips or chopped pieces
1 pint blueberries
1. Cream the butter and sugar on medium speed until well blended.
2. Add the sweetened condensed milk and continue to mix.
3. Sift in the flour slowly, while mixing it into the dough with your hands.
4. Stir in the white chocolate.
5. Take small pieces of dough and flatten it into a disk with your fingers.
6. Place a few blueberries into the middle and fold up and over.
7. Bake on parchment lined baking sheets in a 350 degree oven for about 12-15 minutes. Rotate baking sheets halfway through bake time.
8. Allow cookies to set on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes while cooling, then transfer to wire racks to fully cool.

MMM... Blueberries and white chocolate sound like a heavenly combination!
ReplyDeleteHi! Thanks for stopping by today! Oh my goodness, be safe out there with the hurricane. That Irene came through here in NC this morning and even though I am right smack in the middle of the state, we were getting rain and feeling 40 mph winds. But it sounds that you have the food part covered. :)

They look delicious and so does the peach tart.
ReplyDeleteStay safe as we wait for Irene to blow through!
MMmmm, I love the combination....blueberries and white chocolate:) These would probably make awesome "chipwiches" too, vanilla or butter pecan ice cream between 2 of these, I might have to try!
ReplyDeleteOkay, that's it! I have been seeing blueberries popping up in cookies all over the place lately and I must try it....it sounds so wonderful. Love the white chocolate blueberry combo! Lovely :D
