Blueberry coconut pecan cookies, sweet crumbly cookie filled with blueberries, coconut and pecans.
I have been loving this blueberry season, as you can see by all the blueberry recipes that I have on my blog this summer. ย I have to say that I wish that it could go on and on, but I know that it will all come to an end. But Iย alsoย know that it will all start up again next year… even though it will be hard to wait.
“Blueberries in cookies”? That is what my mom said when I brought her some to sample. After she sampled one, she had to agree that yes, blueberries in cookies is a good thing. ย And so did the rest of the family… even those that don’t eat coconut.
The recipe came about for one simple reason. I had left over coconut from theย coconut almond macaroons that I posted a while back ago and I wanted to use it up. Yep, I am sure happy that the coconut was sitting in the pantry, because these probably would not have come about.
Blueberry coconut pecan cookies are a sweet crumbly cookie, packed with you got it blueberries, coconut, and pecans. You can change them up with maybe raisins or cranberries, oh yeah cranberries would be a great choice for these cookies. But for the time being I am loving these cookies. I hope that if you love coconut and pecans you will give these a try with whatever fruit you would like to add to them.

My use of blueberries in baking has always been confined to muffins, cobblers and the occasional cake. Onward to new directions!
