These Chewy Brown Sugar Blueberry Cookies are soft, chewy, and full of tangy dried blueberries. The caramel-like sweetness of brown sugar gives them an irresistible flavor.
Hello!
I hope you had a lovely weekend. We spent a sunny few days at the beach with friends — the perfect little escape.
Today I’ll keep this short and sweet.
These Chewy Brown Sugar Blueberry Cookies are seriously good.
I made them after discovering a bag of dried blueberries in my pantry that I’d used for granola. They begged to be baked into cookies, and I’m so glad I listened.
These cookies are wonderfully chewy, with a warm hint of cinnamon and bursts of tang from the dried blueberries. They disappeared fast when I shared them with friends, so I wanted to get this recipe up quickly.
What does brown sugar do to cookies?
Brown sugar contains molasses and retains more moisture than granulated sugar, which helps cookies stay soft and tender while adding a rich, caramel-like flavor.

A Few Cook’s Notes
Either light or dark brown sugar works well in this recipe—dark brown sugar will give a slightly deeper molasses flavor.
Dried blueberries are available at many grocery stores, specialty markets, and warehouse stores. They add a concentrated sweet-tart bite and hold up well in cookies.
