I am a sucker for blueberries and I love to add them to any and all recipes that I can. When the kids asked for oatmeal cookies last week, we decided to throw caution to the wind and use blueberries instead of chocolate chips or raisins. The blueberries kept the cookies moist and absolutely delicious. To take it over the top, we made a quick lemon glaze to add to the cookies after they had cooled. So good!

These cookies not only taste delicious, but they look beautiful as well! And you can almost trick yourself into thinking that they are a healthier option since they use rolled oats and blueberries. At least that’s what I try to tell myself when I eat more than my fair share!
These look really good-such a tasty combination, and I just happen to have some blueberries I need to use this weekend! Thanks for sharing!
