Blueberry Muffin Cookies


Welcome to the thirty-second post in my year-long Cookie Series, where I want to bring you a new and delicious cookie recipe every Tuesday of 2015!

My favorite thing about eating muffins is tasting the crunchy, sugary goodness sprinkled on top. 

When my mom proposed the idea of putting muffin topping on a blueberry cookie, I loved it! 

After the cookies were made, I tried one! It was wonderful! The crunchy, sugary goodness of muffin topping was on a cookie! It tasted like I was eating the top of a blueberry muffin, but it was a cookie! I'm still excited about this! Can you tell how excited I am by my use of exclamation points?!?
