These delightful Blackberry Cookies are a unique twist on the classic cookie recipe. Bursting with juicy blackberries and chocolate chips, they offer a delightful combination of flavors in every bite. Perfect for a sweet treat any time of day!
Ingredients:
- ¾ cup (100g) frozen or fresh blackberries
- ⅓ cup (75g) butter, softened
- ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 ⅓ cups (185g) all-purpose flour (plain flour)
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup (70g) chocolate chips
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C. Line a cookie sheet with baking paper or a silpat.
- Thaw the frozen blackberries, either in a pan on the stove or in the microwave, then puree with a hand-held immersion blender. Set aside to cool. You should have ½ cup of blackberry puree.
- In a medium bowl, cream the butter and sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add the cooled blackberry puree and vanilla and beat well.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt, then add to the blackberry mixture and stir by hand to combine. Fold in the chocolate chips (reserving ¼ of them to add to the cookies after baking).
- The dough will be very soft, so cover the dough and chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
- Roll tablespoonfuls of the dough into balls, place them onto the cookie sheet, and press down slightly.
- Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are set. Cool on the tray for a few minutes, then press the remaining chocolate chips onto the cookies. Transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
