Blueberry Muffin Cookies with Streusel Topping

Blueberry Muffin Cookies are delightfully soft cookies filled with juicy blueberries and topped with a crumbly streusel. They’re not heavy or overly sweet, making them a perfect treat for any time of the day. I think they’re a wonderful way to enjoy the flavors of a blueberry muffin in a convenient cookie form.

If you’re looking for a light & airy cookie that’s not overly sweet, you’ve come to the right place. When you combine a soft cookie with a buttery streusel topping, you get the perfect treat. The addition of fresh blueberries just sends it over the top. I’ve really been in the mood for a comforting treat, and these dreamy cookies remind me of cozy mornings and delightful brunches. Not a fan of blueberries? Don’t worry, they’re still delicious with other berries too.
