Hard to resist these Blueberry White Chocolate Cookies with gooey caramel throughout. An oatmeal cookie with dried blueberries, sweet white chocolate and caramel, an amazing cookie that everyone will love.
One of my favorite cookies to give for gifts around the holidays are these delicious blueberry white chocolate cookies. Over flowing with dried blueberries, white chocolate and caramel, they’re always a hit.
You don’t need a frosting or glaze for caramel cookies, they’re sweet enough from the white chocolate and caramel. If you can find caramel bits, you don’t even have to peel the paper off caramel squares. (affiliate) Half the time I’ve forgotten to order caramel bits and they don’t carry them in my area so caramel squares work just as well, you just need to cut them into fourths.
This is basically an oatmeal based cookie with amazing add ins. Not only do they have gooey caramel, but they’re loaded with dried blueberries. You don’t see many recipes with dried blueberries, most call for cranberries or cherries but dried blueberries are amazing. You can find them at Trader Joes or Amazon (affiliate) or most specialty groceries in the dried fruit section.
If you love fresh blueberries, you’ll love how much flavor the dried ones add to cookies.
Last but not least, dump in some white chocolate chips. White chocolate is one of my favorite additions to desserts, you’ll find them in my oatmeal cookies, blondies, tiger butter, raspberry bars and bark. It adds a creamy texture to any dessert and these cookies are no exception.
What you’ll need
- Dried blueberries – find them with the dried fruit. You could substitute dried cherries, cranberries or even raisins.
- White chocolate chips – you could make them even better by chopping up a white chocolate bar.
- Caramel – squares or bits.
- Pantry items – oatmeal, flour, sugar, butter, brown sugar, eggs, baking soda and vanilla.
Blueberry cookies are sturdy because of the oatmeal and will keep their shape and flavor for several days, and no nuts in case someone has allergies. These are another good option for shipping, even if it’s super hot the caramel will only get soft.

FAQ’s and tips
Kraft makes caramel bits which are small pieces of caramel. They are the same as traditional caramel squares just smaller and there’s no plastic to remove.
You’ll find that these are great cookies to ship. The oatmeal base makes them sturdy enough to handle being thrown around and there’s nothing that will melt. The white chocolate and caramel might get soft but that makes them even better.
All cookies freeze well and these are no exception. However, you’ll need to let them warm up before eating as the caramel will get hard.
They are located with the dried fruit in the grocery. You can find them at Trader Joe’s or online. (affiliate)
