Baking Day..........

I baked some cookies  and it is my own recipe .  I am a crisp cookie person but these are what I call Blueberry Cakies and I love them!  They're like eating nut bread in a cookie and for a cookie recipe they're rather good for you too.  I've been experimenting with different recipes as I wanted a blueberry cookie but not a purple cookie.  This is what I finally came up with and they're not purple!  Yay!!!!

Here's the recipe if you'd like to try them.  They're great with a cup of tea.

Blueberry Cakies:     Bake at 400 degrees for 8-10 minutes
--------------------------

1 C dried blueberries
1 C water
3/4 C butter, softened
1 1/2 C sugar
2 eggs
1 t vanilla
2 1/2 C flour (I used a white/wheat combo)
1 t soda
1 t salt
1 t cinnamon
1/2 t baking powder
1/2 t ground cloves
2 C oats
1/2 C chopped nuts

 Simmer blueberries and water over medium heat for about 15 minutes. ( Watch so the water doesn't dry up....if it starts getting low add some more.)  Drain, reserving the liquid.  If necessary, add water to make 1/2 C.
Mix softened butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla.  Stir in liquid.  Blend in remaining ingredients.  Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls, 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.  Cook until light brown if using white flour (mine are a little browner since I used half wheat flour).  Remove to a wire rack to cool.
Let me know what you  think if you try them.
Happy Trails!
