Not only that, your blueberry cookies will have a beautiful blue-purple (or periwinkle) hue that's derived naturally. The thawed blueberries are the magical ingredient that will give cookies structure and create a blueberry-muffin-like taste, as Justine Doiron shared on TikTok. We're sold! To get started, freeze your fresh blueberries. One of the best ways to do this is to wash and dry fresh, plump blueberries. Next, lay your blueberries in a single layer over a sheet or baking pan. Place the pan into the freezer and freeze the blueberries for at least 12 hours or overnight. Then, thaw the blueberries. This can be achieved over the stovetop or microwave for the impatient. The thawed blueberries will be soft, syrupy, and perfect for mashing into the cookie dough like a puree.
As the cookies bake in the oven, the science behind the frozen-then-thawed blueberries takes center stage. The thawed blueberries release their juices into the dough, creating pockets of jammy goodness and adding structure and a delightful moistness to the cookies. They also lend a natural sweetness that balances the cookie's rich buttery crumb, making them an ideal and beautiful periwinkle treat for any occasion. Thus the extra steps of freezing and thawing the blueberries will be worth it.
