Dried Blueberry Mill Cookies

Ingredients

  • 1 cup old-fashioned large flake oats
  • 1 cup packed golden brown sugar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup rye flour
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup salted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2½ cups dried blueberries

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F.

  3. Combine oats, brown sugar, flours, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  4. Add butter and granulated sugar to an electric mixer bowl. Mix on medium speed with the paddle attachment until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed between each egg until incorporated.
  5. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients. Mix on low speed until combined. Fold in blueberries.
  6. Shape cookies into 2 inch balls. Transfer to parchment paper-lined cookie sheets and space 2 inches apart. Bake for 14 – 16 minutes or until cookies are light brown around edges. Let cookies stand for 5 minutes on cookie sheets. Transfer cookies to cool on rack.
