Buy-One-Get-One Cookies
When the markets offer a free box of free berries with the purchase of one at full price, it’s a great deal, and the berries are typically a day away from being too ripe. I use one package with a salad or on cottage cheese, and the second goes into cookies. I often freeze this dough without fruit in it, then thaw and mix with the berries and bake. Refreshingly simple.

Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup fresh berries, such as raspberries, blackberries, or blueberries
- 1/2 cup almonds, roughly chopped (optional)
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Mix in the egg and vanilla. Beat until well blended.
- In a small bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt and then add to the butter mixture. Beat until just incorporated.
- Fold in the berries and, if using, almonds.
- Scoop or drop the dough by 1-teaspoon portions and place 1 ½ inches apart on a parchment-lined or nonstick baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until bottoms begin to brown. Let sit for a few minutes and transfer to a cooling rack.
