Description

These Blueberry Crinkle Cookies are soft, chewy, and bursting with sweet blueberry flavor. Made with a simple cake mix base combined with blueberry jam and rolled in powdered sugar, these cookies have a delightful crackled top and a moist texture. Perfect for any occasion, they offer an easy yet impressive dessert option that requires minimal ingredients and preparation time.

Ingredients

Cookie Dough

  • 1 box (15.25 oz) white cake mix
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup blueberry jam or preserves
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • optional: 1/4 teaspoon lemon zest for brightness

Coating

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter, egg, blueberry jam, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and combined evenly.
  3. Add Cake Mix: Add the white cake mix to the wet ingredients and stir gently until a soft, sticky dough forms. Incorporate the optional lemon zest here if using for added brightness.
  4. Chill the Dough: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to allow it to firm up, making it easier to handle and shape.
  5. Shape the Cookies: Scoop 1-tablespoon portions of the chilled dough and roll each portion into a ball. Generously roll each ball in powdered sugar to coat thoroughly.
  6. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the sugar-coated dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet to allow room for spreading while baking.
  7. Bake: Bake the cookies for 10 to 12 minutes, or until they are puffed up and cracked on the tops, indicating they are baked through and ready.
  8. Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to set. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Notes

  • For extra burst of berry flavor, fold in 1/2 cup of fresh or dried blueberries into the dough before baking.
  • You can substitute the blueberry preserves with other berry options such as blackberry or raspberry jam for different variations.
  • Chilling the dough is essential to prevent spreading and to achieve the signature crinkle texture.
