Blueberry Chocolate Chip Cookies








Ingredients:
1 c blueberries
1 tsp sugar
---
1/2 c butter (I used soy butter, it works just fine)
1/2 c shortening
1 c brown sugar
1/2 c granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 c flour
1 c choc chips
Preheat oven to 350*.
Sprinkle 1 tsp sugar over blueberries & bake for 15 minutes.
Mix the butter, shortening, sugars until smooth.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs & vanilla, then add to the butter/sugar mixture.
Mix the dry ingredients well, then add (slowly) to the butter/sugar mixture.
Stir in the chocolate chips.
Gently fold in the baked blueberries until well combined.
Drop spoonfuls onto a baking sheet, then bake at 350* for about 10-12 minutes.
Optionally, drizzle chocolate over the top to help with the look.
They're purple.
People seem to find purple cookies strange.
I find people strange.
In any event, the chocolate drizzled over them seems to make people not mind the color - they just see CHOCOLATE! ;)
