Delicious Blueberry Drop Cookies

My family really enjoyed these little morsels. We had a bunch of blueberries from my sister’s garden and were running out of ideas on how to use them. These cookies were good and a fun way around chocolate chip ones.. A delicious alternative to chocolate chip cookies.
