These Crumbl berries and cream cookies are fruity cookies topped with a simple dollop of whipped cream and generous swirls of blueberry jam or a raspberry on top. Just in time for the longer days and the hot weather!
If you loved these cookies I know you will also enjoy Fresh CRUMBL Fruit Pizza Cookies, Chilled Crumbl Chocolate Strawberry Cheesecake Cookies, Better than Starbucks Blueberry scones copycat, and Kid-Friendly Red White and Blue Fruit Skewers.
The number of requests I received for these berries and cream cookies are absolutely insane. So of course, I had to make them and share them with you asap.
I tried to focus on the cookie base a lot because when adding fresh fruits to cookie dough, the texture can go wrong very fast.
This is the best Crumbl berries and cream cookies ever!
But for this berry vanilla cookie, I was able to find the right amount of flour to berry ratio to ensure that the cookie doesn’t spread too much and flatten in the oven once we bake it.
The topping is a simplewhipped cream to make your life easier and make the cookie state extra fresh. To decorate the cookies you have two choices, either pop a raspberry on top like they had it last year or shmear some blueberry jam on top like they did a few weeks ago. I’ll be doing both just for fun!

Can I freeze these red white and blue cookies?

For the frosting, you have a few choices, either make it whenever you’re ready to enjoy the cookies or freeze it in an air-tight container and use it whenever you’d like.
Help, my cookies are spreading too much.
Since we are using fruit in our cookies you have to be extra careful not to use wet berries and not to overmix the cookie dough. Once the berries are added to it to ensure that it doesn’t bleed into our cookie dough and release unwanted moisture.
Worst comes to worst, you can use a large cookie cutter, a larger bowl, or a larger mug, place it around the cookie and make circular motions to tighten the cookie back up as soon as it comes out of this oven. This option will help keep the cookie thicker.
How to make mini berries and cream cookies?
If you want to make these cookies a bit smaller all you have to do is instead of making 7 large cookies, you will make 14 smaller ones.
And instead of baking them for 11 minutes, bake them for 9-10 minutes. The rest of the steps are all the same and you will get the cutest little cookies out of this.
