It’s all in the name for these White Chocolate Dried Blueberry Coconut Oatmeal Cookies, literally! Chewy oatmeal cookies loaded with sweet coconut, dried blueberries and white chocolate chips. So amazing!
I’ve been trying to switch up the boys snacks lately in an effort to get them to try new foods that are still yummy but also somewhat healthy. No, these deliciously sweet cookies are not the new healthy snacks I’m talking about, but the dried blueberries within them are. I found them on the dried fruit and nut aisle in Trader Joe’s and we’re loving them. Baker is in a “no-blueberries in or on anything” stage, but he’ll eat these so there’s still hope that his love for fresh blueberries will return someday (he used to eat a whole pint in one sitting). But in the meantime, I’d rather him snack on dried fruits than no fruits at all.
So like I said, I’ve been buying and trying all the dried and freeze-dried fruits they have for easy on-the-go snacks for the boys, but I’ve also been baking them into granola, granola bars and now cookies!
I love baking with fresh blueberries, but sometimes they’re a little too plump and juicy for the texture I’m aiming for or not sweet enough, especially when I’m baking them into cookies. The dried blueberries still give the cookies that sweet blueberry taste without overwhelming or interfering with the other great ingredients.
And when you combine blueberries with white chocolate, coconut and oatmeal…oh la la! These cookies are fantastic! The combination of flavors and textures are so perfect.
This is a cookie recipe you can (and will!) want to bake year-round. So perfect for the heat of summer along with a glass of iced tea or lemonade, but would also make for a great cookie to take to the holiday cookie exchange.
They’re love at first bite…
I know you’re going to enjoy these cookies as much as we do! Happy baking!

I was looking for a recipe to use up my dried blueberries. My girlfriend stumbled upon this one. OMG, it is amazing. They’re delicious, chewing and habit forming. I’ve shared them to rave reviews and every last person asked for a copy of the recipe. Thank you for sharing.
Hi Bob! I’m so happy to hear you baked and enjoyed them. Thanks for sharing and continue to enjoy!
Do you happen to have the weight measurements for this recipe? I want to try this recipe, but do not want to over measure the flour, and potentially ruin the product. Thank you. 🙂

These cookies are so delicious….making them was easy!
I love these and they are a hit with everyone for whom I have made them. Have you ever tried adding cranberries for a red white and blueberry oatmeal cookie?
Hi Beth! So great to hear! I love the idea of adding cranberries for a red, white and blue cookie. Would be so perfect for 4th of July, Labor Day or Memorial Day!
