Several months ago my sister-in-law sent a package with two kinds of cookies among other various things. I took one look at the label on the blueberry cookies and tossed them aside. She is a very talented baker so I'm not sure what I was thinking but I had no interest in eating a blueberry cookie.

Besides blueberries only belong in muffins, cakes and scones right? Wrong!

A while later when I was hungry for a snack I finally took a bite of one of the cookies and had to use extreme willpower not to eat the entire package before my family got home. Why? Because they were salted - that's why! The flavor was completely unexpected and addicting.

I never did ask for the recipe or ask if the salt was intentional (or if she just accidentally added too much) but since I could not stop thinking about them this is my take on salted blueberry cookies. They have that sweet and salty combination of a trail mix secretly hiding in cookie form! They are delicious!

Enjoy!

can you freeze? if so what step?

I would say it would be okay to freeze the dough if you wanted to make it a few days in advance but these cookies are really fast to make. I can't say it would really be necessary.

So. Did they turn out as well as your sister's?

Hers were more dry and cakey and my version is soft and chewy which is what I prefer in a cookie - so I have to say I like mine better!
