Our bush had just enough berries on it to make these cookies. You could substitute these for any recipe containing blueberries.

I have never heard of aronia berries. They look similar to blueberries.

I've never heard of those berries, but anything that can be used in cookies sounds good to me:@)
ReplyDeleteI had never heard of them either! Your cookies must have been wonderful with those freshly picked berries.
ReplyDeleteThis is a first for me Julie. Do these berries remind you of any others? Were you happy with how they tasted in the cookies? Did they explode in your mouth with each bite? I know, it's a blog post and not a deposition, I'm just so curious! They look super healthy. Thanks so much for sharing something new and fun. Hugs and have a great weekend with Tim.
