Hey Lykkers! You know those moments when you just need a sweet treat but want something a little different—something fresh, juicy, and homemade?
I’ve been there. Sometimes, cookies straight from the oven are exactly what the day calls for. But imagine if those cookies had a burst of fresh berries inside—now that’s a game changer. It’s like getting a little summer sunshine in every bite, no matter the season.
If you’re ready to upgrade your cookie game with some fruity goodness, I’ve got you covered. Let’s dive into two delicious homemade berry cookie recipes that are easy to make, totally satisfying, and perfect for sharing.
1. Classic Mixed Berry Cookies
These soft, chewy cookies are loaded with a mix of strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries. They’re lightly sweetened so the natural tartness of the berries really shines through, making each bite a delightful balance of flavors.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup mixed fresh or frozen berries (lightly mashed)
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
3. In another bowl, cream the butter with both sugars until fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla, mixing well.
4. Fold in the dry ingredients, then gently fold in the berries—be careful not to overmix to keep the berries intact.
5. Drop tablespoon-sized mounds of dough onto your baking sheet, spacing them out.
6. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until edges turn golden. Let cool before digging in.
