Blueberry Shortcake Cookies

February 24, 2012 by Melissa

These cookies are really amazing. They have the texture of cake, the taste of blueberries and graham crackers, and the delightful hint of sweetness from white chocolate. They are a hearty cookie that will be sure to satisfy you. I tested them on my apartment building staff by leaving a plate of cookies in the lounge area, and if the clean plate club means anything…well, you get the idea 🙂 Nobody had any clue that they had half the fat and a fraction of the sugar of an ordinary cookie!

Blueberry Shortcake Cookies
(makes 2 dozen)
2 cups flour (1 cup whole wheat, 1 cup white)
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp baking soda
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/3 cup Splenda
6 Tbs. butter, softened at room temperature (or “butter” of your choice)
1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
2 egg whites
2 tsp. vanilla extract
2 Tbs. flax seed meal 
1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs (about 3 rectangles, pulsed in the food processor) 
1/3 cup white chocolate chips
1/3 cup dried blueberries 

~Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare 2 baking sheets with silicone mats or parchment.
~In your mixer, cream the butter and sugars until light colored and fluffy. Add the applesauce and egg whites and continue to mix until well incorporated. Add vanilla. Add all of the dry ingredients, and slowly mix until incorporated, and then add the graham crumbs. Finally, mix in the white chocolate chips and dried blueberries.
~Drop the cookie dough onto your baking sheets, spacing well, 12 cookies per sheet. Wrap a piece of parchment around a spatula and gently press to flatten each cookie dough ball (because these cookies don’t spread much, I like to flatten them a bit until just over 1/2″ tall). Bake 12-15 min or until golden brown. Let cool and enjoy!

Love the blueberry/white chocolate/graham combo? You’ll love my Blueberry Graham Popcorn too!
Strike up a conversation: These cookies are a unique flavor combo! What’s a unique flavor combo you would like to try in a cookie?
