Blueberry White Chocolate Chip Cookies


So I had a crazy ass dream one night, and thought I was being original - Blueberry White Chocolate Chip Cookies. I thought about what to put in, citrus, spice. Did a quick Google search... and I was not original. But I found a recipe with EXACTLY what I had dreamed about putting in it.
So here it is. Amazing, complex, rich. YOU MUST MAKE THESE!

Blueberry White Chocolate Cookies*



* ½ cup unsalted butter
* ½ cup shortening
* ¾ cup sugar
* ¾ cup brown sugar, packed
* 2 eggs
* 1 teaspoon vanilla
* 2 tablespoons grated lemon peel
* 2¼ cups all-purpose flour
* ¼ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
* 1 teaspoon baking soda
* ½ teaspoon salt
* 1 1/8 cup dried blueberries
* 1 1/4 cups white chocolate chips

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a cookie sheet with
parchment or silpat.
2. Cream together butter, shortening, and both sugars.
Add eggs, vanilla, and lemon peel; beat until well
blended.
3. Mix dry ingredients together; stir into creamed
mixture. Blend well; add dried blueberries and white
chocolate chips.
4. Drop by generous, rounded teaspoonfuls onto
parchment baking sheets. Keep cookies about 2″
apart. Bake 8–10 minutes, removing from oven when
just barely done.
5. Cool on pans 5 minutes; remove to cool

4-5 dozen depending on size and how much dough you eat

*Edited out the blueberry/white chocolate chip ratio for one that I found worked better!

  2. Yes they are! I did another batch and found that using 1/8 cup less chocolate chips and 1/8 cup more blueberries was the perfect ratio. Better flavor.
