Blueberry Muffin Top Cookies | Gluten Free Recipe
One of my favorite episodes of Seinfeld is when Elaine mentions that she only eats the tops of muffins. Raise your hand if you agree it’s the best part! I bet Elaine would love these Blueberry Muffin Top Cookies.
When I saw the picture of these Blueberry Muffin Top Cookies on Pinterest, it reminded me of that episode. We had some blueberries that were about to go to waste, so I decided to see how hard it would be to make these Blueberry Muffin Cookies gluten free.
These were so easy to whip up, the frosting is delish and everyone in the house has raved over how they’re just like the tops of muffins. You know, the best part!
So, get cookin’, good lookin’! These are pretty healthy, and with gluten free all purpose flour they can be gluten free, too!
