Red White and Blueberry Oatmeal cookies are on the guest buffet for July 4th at the Bottger Mansion are in honor of the holiday. The basic cookie recipe can easily be used with other dried fruits, nuts, or coconut. I’ve also used this recipe with a little lemon zest for lemon-blueberry oatmeal cookies and cranberry-orange oatmeal cookies.
