Ingredients You’ll Need

You won’t believe how straightforward and accessible this ingredient list is—yet, each component pulls its weight to create cookies that are soft, berry-packed, and irresistibly cute. From rich butter for flavor and chew, to tangy blueberry powder for an extra pop, every element helps bring these Blueberry Oddish Cookies to life.

All-purpose flour: This creates the perfect foundation for a thick, tender cookie crumb.
Baking soda: Adds just the right amount of lift and tenderness to each bite.
Baking powder: Works with the baking soda to ensure fluffy cookies that don’t spread too much.
Salt: Balances all the sweet and fruity flavors for a well-rounded finish.
Unsalted butter, melted and cooled: Gives you a rich, slightly chewy texture. Don’t skip letting it cool—warm butter can make dough too sticky.
Granulated sugar: Provides that classic cookie sweetness and helps with a light, golden edge.
Light or dark brown sugar, packed: Adds a lovely hint of caramel flavor and extra chewiness.
Vanilla extract: Brings warmth and depth to your dough—don’t be tempted to leave it out!
Egg: Lends structure and keeps everything deliciously soft.
Freeze dried blueberry powder: Try to source this for concentrated blueberry flavor and that telltale Oddish blue color.
Blueberry jam: Swirled right into the cookie dough, this is where the magic (and bursts of berry flavor) really happen.
Food coloring (liquid, gel, or powder): Blue and green are essential for getting those iconic Oddish shades—gel or powder work best for vibrant results.
Melted milk or dark chocolate: Perfect for piping on adorable little faces.
Melted white chocolate: Use this for the blush—dyed with a dab of (preferably oil-based) pink or red food coloring.
Oil-based food coloring (pink/red): Vital for dyed chocolate details without it seizing—if you’re using water-based coloring, add a bit of neutral oil to smooth things out.

How to Make Blueberry Oddish Cookies

Step 1: Combine Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour with baking soda, baking powder, and salt. This step evenly distributes the leaveners and salt for balanced cookies, preventing any surprise bursts of salt or under-leavened spots.

Step 2: Cream Wet Ingredients

Using a stand mixer or a hand mixer, blend the cooled, melted butter with your granulated and brown sugars. Scrape down the sides, then add vanilla and your egg. Mix until the batter is smooth and luscious—proper blending here will yield a soft, rich cookie base!

Step 3: Mix Cookie Doughs

Stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture just until you see no dry spots; overmixing leads to tough cookies. Scoop out about 3 tablespoons of dough and dye it green—this small batch will form Oddish’s signature leaves. In the main bowl, stir in freeze-dried blueberry powder, blueberry jam, and plenty of blue food coloring until you get a bright, playful blue. (A little extra jam is never a bad idea!)

Step 4: Chill the Dough

Cover both doughs with plastic wrap and chill them in the fridge for about 20-30 minutes. This step is worth every minute: the dough firms up, the flour hydrates, and you’ll find shaping and decorating infinitely easier—plus, chilling gives you softer, chewier cookies!

Step 5: Shape the Blueberry Oddish Cookies

Preheat your oven to 325°F/163°C. Scoop about 1½ tablespoons of blueberry dough for each cookie and shape into a rounded, football-like body—arrange these on lined baking trays, leaving space to spread. Pinch off a little dough for each Oddish’s feet and form into balls. For leaves, take ½ tablespoon of green dough, split into three pieces, roll each into stubby cylinders, and pinch together at one end, fanning out the tops. Press these leafy tops onto the blue bodies!

Step 6: Bake to Perfection

Bake for 9-11 minutes, keeping an eye out for just-set edges for soft cookies. If you love them a bit chewier, bake for a couple more minutes. Let cookies rest on their trays for a few minutes, then move them to a wire rack. Don’t skip this: they’ll finish setting up without overbaking.

Step 7: Decorate Adorable Oddish Faces

Melt your chocolate (milk/dark for eyes and smile, white for blush). For the blush, tint your white chocolate pink or red—if the chocolate seizes, gently add neutral oil and stir until smooth. Use a piping bag, toothpick, or scribe to dot on eyes, mouths, and rosy cheeks. Creating each unique Blueberry Oddish Cookie face is the best part, so let your creativity go wild!

How to Serve Blueberry Oddish Cookies

Garnishes

Take those Blueberry Oddish Cookies over the top with a dusting of freeze-dried blueberry powder, a sprinkle of shimmering sugar, or a few extra dollops of blueberry jam. If you’re serving on a party platter, nestle the cookies on a bed of fresh mint leaves for a lush, garden-inspired look.

Side Dishes

Pair your cookies with creamy vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat, or serve alongside cold glasses of milk or fruity iced tea. The tart-sweetness of fresh berries or a bowl of yogurt on the side helps balance the richness and makes for an adorable dessert board.

Creative Ways to Present

For the ultimate presentation, arrange your Blueberry Oddish Cookies standing in a “field” of edible green coconut “grass” or tuck them into cupcake wrappers, showcasing their sweet little faces. They also make fantastic party favors—just wrap each cookie in cellophane bags with a cute tag, or nestle them in a themed cookie box for gifting.

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

Blueberry Oddish Cookies keep beautifully in an airtight container for up to four days at room temperature. Make sure they’re completely cooled before storing, so they don’t get soggy—layer parchment paper between for extra insurance!

Freezing

For longer-term storage, freeze the fully baked (and decorated) cookies in a single layer, then transfer to a reusable freezer bag or airtight container. For best quality, eat within two months. You can also freeze unbaked, shaped dough balls (minus decorations) and bake fresh when a cookie craving strikes.

Reheating

To refresh leftover Blueberry Oddish Cookies, give them a quick 5-10 second zap in the microwave to bring back their softness. If you’re reheating from frozen, allow cookies to thaw at room temperature before enjoying. Avoid reheating decorated cookies in the oven, as chocolate details may melt.

FAQs

Can I use regular blueberries instead of freeze-dried blueberry powder?

For this recipe, freeze-dried blueberry powder is key for vibrant color and concentrated flavor without watering down the dough. If you can’t find it, try grinding freeze-dried blueberries into a fine powder, but fresh or frozen berries won’t provide the same intensity or texture.

Do I need oil-based food coloring for the blush?

Oil-based food coloring is best for tinting chocolate because it won’t cause it to seize. If you only have water-based coloring, add a teaspoon of neutral oil (like canola or vegetable) while stirring in the color to keep the mixture smooth and glossy.

Can I make Blueberry Oddish Cookies gluten-free?

Absolutely! Substitute a good 1-to-1 gluten-free flour blend for the all-purpose flour. Make sure your other ingredients are certified gluten-free, and you’ll have cookies everyone can enjoy.

How do I get my cookies as blue as the photos?

The trick is to use a vibrant blue gel or powder food coloring, along with the blueberry powder and jam. Start with a little and add more as needed until you reach your desired Oddish shade—it’s easier to go darker than to lighten it up!

What’s the best way to pipe the faces on Blueberry Oddish Cookies?

A piping bag with a fine tip gives the most control for those tiny features, but a toothpick or cookie scribe also works in a pinch. Practice a couple faces on parchment first so you can nail that sweet Oddish expression every time.

Final Thoughts

Blueberry Oddish Cookies are hands-down one of the most joyful treats you can bring to the table: unbelievably cute, jam-packed with blueberry flavor, and guaranteed to delight anyone who tries them. So gather your ingredients, turn up your favorite playlist, and let these cookies work their magic—one adorable batch at a time!
