Chewy White Chocolate Blueberry Oatmeal Cookies that taste just like eating blueberry pie, but so much better!
Amazing Blueberry Oatmeal Cookies
Oh, how we love blueberries around this house! Blueberry pancakes, blueberry muffins, blueberries on our cereal, blueberries in our salads, blueberries in our snack cups. We always have a carton of fresh blueberries in the fridge, cleaned and ready to eat. And now, these White Chocolate Blueberry Oatmeal Cookies. They’re ah-mazing!
Great Cookies for a Playdate!
Baker was having some buddies over to play and I asked him what he wanted to have as a snack with his friends. He immediately said “cookies”. No surprise! Then when I asked him what kind, he said “blueberry cookies”!
I thought he was kidding at first because you just don’t see fresh blueberries in cookies very often, but he was dead serious because before I knew it, he was getting the blueberries out of the fridge. I had some white chocolate chips and oatmeal on hand so White Chocolate Blueberry Oatmeal Cookies it was.
Cookies That Taste Like Blueberry Pie
And what a treat these cookies turned out to be! These cookies taste like blueberry pie, but so much better! The blueberries just melt into these buttery, chewy cookies that are loaded with hearty oats and sweet white chocolate. They were the perfect treat for a house full of busy boys (and their mamas) on a cold afternoon. Baker-man gets full credit for this one!

How Soft is ‘Softened Butter’?
Softened butter should still feel cold. It should be solid, but hold a fingerprint when pressed. It should also bend without breaking. Butter that is too soft leads to spreading cookies, and no one wants that!
For best results, set chilled butter out at room temperature for 25-30 minutes. Check out my tutorial for other methods of softening butter.
How to Make White Chocolate Blueberry Oatmeal Cookies
- First, preheat oven to 350°F. Then, in the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter and brown sugar until blended. Add the vanilla and egg until light and fluffy. Mix in oats, flour, baking soda and salt. Stir in white chocolate chips and blueberries.
- Drop dough by heaping tablespoons about 2 inches apart onto lightly greased baking sheets.
- Bake 12-14 minutes or until golden brown. Cool slightly before moving to wire racks to cool completely. Enjoy!

Did you use fresh blueberries or were the blueberries frozen? I can’t wait to try this recipe!!
Hi, Paige! I prefer to bake with fresh blueberries!
I noticed that after the recipe was updated there were reviews about the cookies spreading. Is there a mistake in the update? There were so many positive reviews before that. I really want to try these. I grow blueberries and these look delicious!
Hi, Beverly! The recipe itself did not change, just the photos and some text. Spreading happens most often when the butter is too soft. The term softened butter means it can be pressed with a finger but not go all the way through. When it gets shortcut via microwave, it’s the most common reason for spreading cookies. Best to let refrigerated butter sit at room temp for 30-45 minutes before proceeding. Hope this helps! It’s a great recipe!
Oh no! I’m sorry to hear that. This dough is hearty and thick and should not be runny when baked. Are you sure you measured all of the ingredients accurately?
I have made these twice now and both times have spread. Why are they doing this?
Hi Callie! Oh no, I’m so sorry to hear that. They should spread a bit as they bake, but not too much or too thin. With all of the hearty ingredients in these cookies, they should have a nice thickness and chewy texture. Are you sure you followed all of the ingredients and instructions exactly? Maybe your dough is too warm by the time you’re done mixing it and could use some time to chill so it holds its shape better as it bakes? I would recommend refrigerating the dough for about 30 minutes before baking into cookies the next you make them. I hope this helps and that they bake up perfect next time. Enjoy!
I only have 1/2 cup of white chocolate chips can I add 1/2 cup regular chocolate chips to make the full cup in your recipe
Hi Janice! Absolutely! I think the combo of chocolates will taste great in these cookies. Enjoy!
