Repost: Picturing Fourth July Cookies

Here's the recipe for my Fourth of July Cookies in process.

Cook the blueberries, white sugar, lemon juice, and milk. Once you've got a silky purple mash, set aside the mixture to cool. This stuff is good enough to eat on its own...or on top of vanilla ice cream.

Cream the creamables: butter and light brown sugar.

Add the cooled blueberry mixture to the creamables. Mix. It looks messy, but don't worry.

Combine the dry ingredients. This recipe is loaded with flavorful stuff: dried cherries, fresh cherries, coconut, white chocolate chips, cooked blueberries, and fresh blueberries. Yup...red, white, and blue.

Add the dry ingredients to the combined creambles and cooked blueberries. Mix. Then chill to firm up.

Scoop, bake, and set off the fireworks. Happy Birthday, America!

I love the idea of red and blue fruits in a cookie. I wonder if strawberries would work as well as cherries?
I have a recipe for a peaches and cream oatmeal cookie, with peaches and white chocolate chunks. I like the idea of the white chocolate chips in the cookie, to put some "white" in the red, white, & blue.
Keep up the good work! I'll be trying this cookie soon!
