Muffin Mix Blueberry Streusel Cookies

Blueberry Streusel Cookies arranged on baking sheetThe weekends are kind of dicey in my house.

You see, Mannie, my Border Collie, loves to bark. Barking is his favorite activity, his favorite pasttime, his favorite now-time, and everything in between. Barking is liiiiiiife to him.

One bark, though, and my family jumps into a tizzy. They get mad that he’s barking and all hell breaks loose and there’s this huge issue between the Non-Carers and the Barking Barkers. The Non-Carers (my mom, myself, and sometimes my brother) are very whatever about this subject. Dogs bark, and we get Mannie to stop when it’s out of control. But the Barking Barkers (my sister, my dad) are the ones who bark back at Mannie when he’s barking by yelling at him.

I want so badly to tell them that yelling at the dog only makes the dog want to bark more, but logic need not apply here.

Most days, this is fine. I’m the only one home and I don’t mind the barking when it happens. But on the weekends, my anxiety goes through the roof and into outer space because Mannie and Winston, our family dog, want to do allllll the barking on weekend mornings when everyone’s sleeping.

And if you’ve never seen someone stumble out of bed having been awoken by a barking dog, it isn’t a pretty sight.

So most weekend mornings I spend corralling ornery dogs and trying to shush them with a louder-volume TV show or random distractions. At times, I’ve even dive-bombed Mannie to try to keep him quiet and still, since he loves moving while he barks. There I’ll be, splayed out on the floor lying gently on top of my beast of a dog on a Saturday morning. It’s a pretty sight I’m sure.

blueberry streusel cookie on a baking sheetOne of these days, Mannie will stop barking – I hope. In the meantime, I make my family ample treats since they put up with his incessant talking. One of the recent treats I made were these Blueberry Streusel Cookies. They’re jam-packed with flavor and taste just like blueberry muffins because, well, it’s made with blueberry muffin mix. I knooooow – muffin mix in cookies? But it totally works.

Muffin Mix Blueberry Streusel Cookies

These hearty, soft and pillowy Blueberry Streusel Cookies taste just like blueberry muffin tops and couldn't be simpler to make!
Prep Time15 mins
Cook Time10 mins
Total Time25 mins
Course: Cookies, Dessert
Cuisine: American, Dessert
Servings: 16 -18
Author: Hayley Parker, The Domestic Rebel

Ingredients

  • 1 box blueberry muffin mix I used Krusteaz
  • 3/4 cup old-fashioned oats not instant
  • 1/3 cup + 2 Tbsp canola or vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 2 Tbsp milk
  • FOR LEMON BUTTER GLAZE:
  • 1½ cups powdered sugar
  • 2 Tbsp melted butter
  • 1/2 tsp lemon peel
  • 2 tsp lemon juice
  • 1-2 Tbsp milk

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with silicone liners or parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine the muffin mix - just the dry mix, oats, oil, brown sugar, egg and milk and stir together until a soft dough just barely comes together. Drain and rinse the canned blueberries; gently fold into the dough to combine.
  • Portion rounded, heaping Tablespoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake for approx. 8-10 minutes, rotating pans halfway through baking time to ensure even cooking. Cool on the sheets completely.
  • Meanwhile, make your glaze. Combine all the glaze ingredients except for the milk together in a bowl, only using milk if needed, until smooth and pourable. Glaze the tops of the cookies and let set, about 10 minutes. Then serve!

I love that they taste just like a really wholesome blueberry muffin but with that delectable streusel-y crumble throughout, thanks to the oats and brown sugar. It really sweetens these cookies and adds great texture and flavor.

    I want to try these blueberry muffin cookies but I’m not sure if I can find the Krusteaz box. And what size box do I need to buy? I know I can find the bagged blueberry muffin mix from Betty Crocker I think but how many bags do I need? I guess it would be easier to find out how many cups of blueberry mix do I need and go from there.
    Thanks,
    Karen

      Hi Karen! The Krusteaz Blueberry Muffin box is 17.1 ounces, so you’d need something comparable to that. Unfortunately I don’t have how many cups that equates to in regards to the blueberry muffin mix pouches from Betty Crocker. However, any boxed blueberry muffin mix will do, so that doesn’t need to be Krusteaz if that helps!

        I just made this recipe this morning for a Zoom bridal shower for my niece. Family shower. Each family was given a box of Betty Crocker blueberry muffins and some packets of green tea to enjoy during the shower. The 16.9 oz box of Betty Crocker Blueberry Muffin Mix worked great. This recipe is being added to the recipe book! Thank you!

      Carmen – yes, most boxed blueberry mixes come with a can of blueberries inside. Just look for a box size that’s roughly near 17 ounces; that’s the standard size for the Krusteaz mix I used 🙂

    I made these with two of the Betty Crocker pouch muffin mixes. They were each 6.5 oz. so it wasn’t as many ounces, but I’m sure the can of blueberries added to the weight of the other brand. Other than that I also added a handful of fresh blueberries I had in there. Everything else I did exactly as written. They turned out amazing. Thanks for the recipe! I’m not sure I can ever just make those cheap pouches into muffing again when they are so easy and tasty this way.

    How confusing for poor Mannie. He’s a Border Collie! Barking is in his DNA! It’s his job! He needs something to do. Call a trainer or the Humane Society for pointers. You will all be much happier. (Give him a pet from me!)

      Karen – he just got a hug from you! 🙂 It’s a hard balance of the barking because it teeters on the side of excessive most of the time, but we’re starting to exercise him more to get that energy out and help him feel like he has a job! Thanks for your advice!

    Oh my goodness! These are the best cookies EVER! They are now my “go to” cookie recipe when I want to impress someone. We have a large fruit farm in our area famous for their blueberry donuts and everyone says these taste just the same-only in cookie form. They’re so easy to make! The first time I couldn’t find the Krusteaz so I used another brand-name mix; the cookies were fabulous but now that I’ve found the Krusteaz I buy several packages at a time because they take the cookies to a higher level. I bake mine for exactly 8 minutes. I use 1 TBS Real Lemon when I don’t have the lemon zest. I love that they are so quick and easy but taste DEVINE! Thanks so much for sharing this recipe!
