Blueberry Oatmeal Scone Cookies

Blueberry Scone Cookies La Casa de Sweets

I love a good scone.  You know the kind I mean: moist, chewy and packed with flavor.  A sugary top never hurts, either, right?  Since I’m not a breakfast person, I rarely get to enjoy them.  So, I decided to come up with a way to enjoy the taste and texture of a scone in the form of a cookie.

Buttermilk and blueberries are always a good choice, and when you add a few other things to the mix in just the right order, you get a cookie that’s crispy on the outside, and soft and chewy on the inside…just like a scone!

Plus, you get to feel like you’re eating something they’d serve at Downton. And I’m a firm believer that we all need a little Downton in us!  I wonder if the Crawleys would care for some scone cookies?  It might make things a bit easier for them…

After all, cookies for breakfast sounds good to me!

  • Use a large ice cream scoop (or a 1/4 measuring cup) to scoop out of the cookie dough onto the lined baking sheets.
  • Sprinkle the tops of the cookies with sanding sugar, if using.
  • Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes, rotating the baking sheets halfway through, until the cookies are completely set and the edges are golden.
