# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The crinkle finish makes these look like you spent hours on them when they actually take very little effort
  • Fresh blueberries stay juicy and burst in your mouth while the edges stay perfectly chewy
  • They freeze beautifully so you can have fresh baked cookies anytime without starting from scratch
02 -
  • Chilling the dough is non negotiable or the cookies will spread too much and lose their crinkle
  • Do not skip the generous powdered sugar coating or the signature crackle will not form properly
  • Frozen blueberries work fine but add a minute or two to the baking time
03 -
  • Use room temperature ingredients so everything incorporates evenly
  • Resist overmixing once you add the flour or cookies will be tough
