Blueberry season means Crumbl blueberry muffin cookies! I’ve been definitely slacking on these a little. Especially since I received so many requests for these the week they came out at Crumbl.
But hey, life gets in the way, exhaustion happens and you just have to take a moment to regroup before coming back stronger (with the best Crumbl cookie recipes on the internet!)
This is the best blueberry muffin cookie with streusel on top.
The special thing when it comes to this recipe is that the cookie dough has both blueberries and swirls of blueberry jam in it. I am not sure if that’s how the Crumbl one was made but I just figured that that’s how I wanted to really bring out the blueberry flavors and allow those swirls to really show.
The cookies are then topped with a homemade streusel topping which in my books can literally elevate anything really. The balance of salty and sweetness of the streusel, fresh blueberries, and jam, as well as the texture of the cookies, will just blow your mind!

Frequently asked questions – FAQ
How to store streusel blueberry muffin cookies?
These cookies can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Be aware that these cookies will be best the day you make them because that’s when the streusel will have the best crunchy sugar-crusted surface effect.
If you want to be extra like me, you can reheat your cookies in the oven or in the air fryer for a few minutes.
Can I freeze blueberry muffin cookies?
You sure can! These cookies freeze well, just pop them in an airtight container and freeze for up to 1 month.
Once you’re ready to enjoy these thaw them in the fridge overnight or on the countertop for a few hours.
Can I fuse frozen blueberries?
You can use frozen blueberries but make sure that you are really drying them off really well so that the dough texture doesn’t change too much. Smaller frozen blueberries or wild frozen blueberries are best in the recipe too!
Can I make smaller blueberry muffin cookies?
Absolutley!
Instead of making 8 large cookies make 16 smaller ones. Bake them for 10 minutes instead of 14 minutes. Continue with the recipe as you would the giant-sized cookie except that now you’ll have more smaller cookies that can feed a crowd 🙂

Jessica
Could I use frozen blueberries?
Chahinez
You can. You would just have to let them thaw and drain the liquid out first so they don’t make the batter too wet. They also won’t have that same pop inside the muffins once they’re baked but you can still use them.
@bakingdancer
I made these the other day and they were very well received. I used fresh blueberries and made my own blueberry jam. My only issue was that the cookies ended up very flat and spread out. I was hoping they would be thicker.
Should I put the dough in the fridge for an hour an then bake them?
Chahinez
you can definitely put the dough in the fridge before baking them. Also, make sure the blueberries are dry after washing them prior to adding them to the dough. I hope this helps!
Heidi Vanden Top
could you use raspberries or strawberries instead?
Chahinez
Absolutely 🙂
Becca
Perfect cookie! I did add 1 T of coconut oil to the recipe.
Chahinez
I am so glad you like them!
Michelle
I don’t usually leave reviews but I just had to this time. I’ve tried a lot of cookie recipes from this site and this is my absolute favorite one! These cookies were AMAZING!!
Seria
Hi! I was wanting to make a bunch and freeze the dough. Will they still turn out ok? If I do this do I add the strudel topping and freeze as well or add that on before baking them !? Thanks!
Chahinez
Yes, you can definitely freeze the dough for the Crumbl blueberry muffin cookies! To freeze the dough, you can shape it into balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Then, sprinkle the strudel topping on top of each dough ball before freezing. Once the dough balls are frozen solid, you can transfer them to a freezer bag or airtight container for storage. When you’re ready to bake, simply place the frozen dough balls on a baking sheet and bake as directed, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time if needed.
Chiara
Hello! May I ask you why you also add baking powder in this recipe compared to your other cookie recipes? 🙂 Could I for example use one of your cookie recipes and simply swap the mix ins for fresh blueberries? Or in that case should I add more flour because of the moisture of fresh blueberries? thank you! 🙂
Jordon R Williams
I wonder if these would turnout ok without the blueberry jam? Has anyone tried it without the blueberry jam? Just don’t have any on hand. Thank in advance!
Chahinez
It is best to use the blueberry jam because it adds that much needed moisture to allow the cookie to spread just enough to be perfect!
Kelli
I normally don’t leave reviews on recipes, but these were too good not to. I had some leftover blueberries that were going bad and wanted to make some cookies. I found this recipe on Pinterest and had the perfect amount of blueberries. The only thing was I didn’t have blueberry jam, but I had strawberry, so I made more of a “mixed berry muffin cookie” instead. This recipe is perfect!! It has the texture of a muffin top, is not too sweet, and is super delicious. I ate about 3 right when they came out of the oven. Amazing recipe, thank you so much!
Chahinez
I love the mixed berry idea I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Lacey Mullins
Would it affect the texture/taste to omit the blueberry jam?
Chahinez
Yes omitting that would definitely affect the final results.
Kylie
Wow. These came out fantastic! I chilled my dough prior to baking (mainly because my kiddo was having a meltdown and I had to step away with her), but other than that I followed the recipe exactly as is. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Chahinez
I’m glad the recipe came out well! Thank you 🙂
Natalie
Hi is it fine if I leave cookie dough in fridge overnight?
Chahinez
Yes!
Tracy Taft
can these be frozen?
Chahinez
They sure can! Allow them to cool down fully before placing them in an airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months.
Jess
Hi, question. Would it be alright if I made these into mini cookies? Like if I were to make 16 small cookies instead of 8, would the texture be affected?
Chahinez
You can definitely do that. Just bake them for a few minutes less!
SR
If I don’t have blueberry jam, would these still turn out good?
I do have some strawberry jam I could use?
Chahinez
Using strawberry jam for these will be fine 🙂
Jackie
These were fantastic!!
Chahinez
Thank you so much!
Relle
All baked goods with blueberries has been my addiction since I was a kid & this recipe has got a special place in my heart now .. knowing how easy this recipe is to create I have to be extremely careful with my sugar intake all of a sudden 😭
Chahinez
I get it! I’m happy you enjoyed the recipe!
Karin
They are awesome! They won’t last very long! A definite keeper!
Chahinez
Thank you so much!!
Joleen
Thanks for recreating this recipe for us !
Chahinez
You’re welcome!
Xochitl
made these last night and they were delicious. Unfortunately, my crumble didn’t crumble; I used room temperature butter instead of cold 😅. Oops! Still enjoyed them though.
Chahinez
I’m glad you were still able to enjoy them 😁
Ahna
Amazinggg my clients love them! Can I use this base for other flavors? Will it affect the outcome? I feel like this would be the perfect base for a chocolate chip cookie
Chahinez
Hi Ahna! That’s great to hear 🙂 You can, but keep in mind, when changing the recipe, the muffin cookie may come out differently. You could always make a small batch and test it out to see.
Trina
these cookies are awesome!
Karen
These cookies were delicious!! I feel like I added a nice amount of crumbl on the top but there was so much left over. Really just means I will have to make them again in a few days though, lol. I think if I was making a single batch I would half the crumbl topping next time.
Chahinez
Thank you for trying out the recipe!
Chels
Amazing. Exactly what you want it to be. Soft and delicious. Everything you love about blueberry muffins but in an amazing cookie form! Saved this recipe to make over and over again. Thank you for this recipe!
Chahinez
You’re welcome! I’m glad you enjoyed the recipe!😊
Alice
DELIICOUS!
These cookies are chewy, sweet, and covered with cinnamon crunch topping. They taste just like a muffin (dare I say better) and the blueberry is dispersed perfectly through the cookie. I used Crofter’s organic blueberry jam which was delicious.
