These Blueberry Chocolate Cookies Are the Ultimate Summer Dessert

Craisins were on sale this week, and since I could eat them by the bag full, I stocked up. If I put fruit and oats in a chocolate chip cookie it counts as good for me right? An overabundance of dried fruit and a craving for something sweet later, I had a batch of my new favorite summer cookie. I used blueberry Craisins and dark chocolate chips, but you could substitute original or pomegranate Craisins for the blueberry and choose white or milk chocolate instead of the dark. The only problem with these cookies is that it seems that half the dough disappears before even making it into the oven.
