Ingredients
Here’s everything you’ll need to whip up these delightful Blueberry Cake Mix Cookies:
- 1 box (15.25 ounces) white cake mix
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Get Ready to Mix
First things first, let’s get our oven preheating to 350°F (175°C). Grab a large mixing bowl. We’re going to combine the cake mix and the softened butter. It’s important that your butter is softened, not melted, so it blends smoothly. If you forgot to take it out of the fridge ahead of time, you can microwave it in short 5-second bursts until it’s soft but not melted.
Step 2: Combine the Wet Ingredients
Add the softened butter to the mixing bowl with the white cake mix. Use a hand mixer or a sturdy spoon to mix them together until they form crumbs. Don’t worry if it looks a little dry at this point, that’s perfectly normal. Next, crack in the eggs, pour in the milk, and add the vanilla extract to the bowl.
Step 3: Mix it All Together
Now, turn your mixer back on low speed and mix everything until just combined. Be careful not to overmix – just mix until the batter comes together and is smooth. Overmixing can sometimes make cookies tough, and we want these to be nice and soft.
Step 4: Gently Fold in Blueberries
This is where the blueberry magic happens! Gently fold in the blueberries using a spatula. If you’re using frozen blueberries, there’s no need to thaw them first. Just toss them in while they are still frozen. Folding gently means using a smooth, circular motion with your spatula to mix them in without smashing them or making the batter too purple.
Step 5: Scoop and Bake
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will prevent the cookies from sticking and make cleanup a breeze. Use a spoon or a cookie scoop to drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each cookie.
Step 6: Bake to Golden Perfection
Pop the baking sheet into your preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes. Keep an eye on them! You’ll know they’re ready when the edges are lightly golden brown and the centers are set. They might still look a little soft, but they will firm up as they cool.
Step 7: Cool and Enjoy
Once baked, take the baking sheet out of the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. If you want to add a little extra touch, dust them with powdered sugar once they’ve cooled. Now, grab a cookie (or two!) and enjoy your homemade Blueberry Cake Mix Cookies!
Serving Suggestions
These soft blueberry cookies are wonderful on their own, but they can be even better with the right pairings and presentation. For a simple and classic touch, serve them with a cold glass of milk or a warm cup of coffee. They also pair beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert.
If you’re having friends over, arrange the Blueberry Cake Mix Cookies on a pretty platter. You can dust them with powdered sugar for an elegant look, or even drizzle a light glaze over them if you’re feeling fancy. These cookies are perfect for afternoon tea, casual get-togethers, bake sales, or just a sweet treat any day of the week. Their bright blueberry flavor makes them especially lovely for spring and summer occasions, but honestly, they are delicious year-round!
Storage and Reheating
To keep your Blueberry Cake Mix Cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They will stay soft and delicious for up to 3-4 days. If you want to keep them longer, you can freeze them! Place the cooled cookies in a freezer-safe bag or container, and they will last in the freezer for up to 2-3 months.
When you’re ready to enjoy a frozen cookie, you can let it thaw at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or you can warm it up gently in the microwave for just a few seconds. Be careful not to overheat them in the microwave, or they might get a little tough. A quick 5-10 seconds is usually enough to bring them back to that soft, fresh-baked texture.
