Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Dry Ingredients:
• 1½ cups (180 g) all-purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients:
• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled (8 tablespoons)
• ¼ cup granulated sugar (50 g)
• ⅛ cup packed light or dark brown sugar (25 g)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon freeze-dried blueberry powder (6 g)
• 2–4 tablespoons blueberry jam (14–42 g, adjust to taste)
• Blue, green food coloring (liquid, gel, or powder)

Decoration for Face:
• 1 tablespoon melted milk or dark chocolate (for eyes and mouth)
• 1 tablespoon melted white chocolate
• Pink or red oil-based food coloring to tint the white chocolate for blush

Directions

Make the Cookie Dough

Whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
In a mixer, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Add the vanilla and egg; mix until fully incorporated.
Add the dry ingredients and mix until no dry bits remain.

Divide & Color

Remove about 3 tablespoons of dough and place into a separate bowl. Tint this batch green—this will form Oddish’s leaves.
To the larger portion of dough, add blueberry powder, jam, and blue food coloring. Mix until evenly colored—adjust blue until desired shade is reached.

Chill Dough

Cover both dough portions and refrigerate for 20–30 minutes. This helps with chewiness and makes the dough easier to shape.

Shape & Bake

Preheat the oven to 325 °F (163 °C). Line baking trays with parchment or silicone mats.
Use a small scoop (about 1½ tablespoons) to portion the blue dough. Shape each into a rounded football shape. Place 11–12 cookies spaced ~3 inches apart.
For each cookie’s “feet,” take about 1 teaspoon dough, divide into two balls, and attach to the bottom of each cookie.
For the leaves: use ~½ tablespoon of green dough per cookie. Divide into three small balls each and roll into short cylinders. Pinch them together at one end so they feather at the top. Press onto the top of each cookie.
Bake for 9–11 minutes, until edges are set and just firm. For softer cookies, bake less; for chewier cookies, leave in 1–3 more minutes.
Let cool on the tray for 5–10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Decorate Faces

Melt the milk or dark chocolate and pipe eyes and a smiling mouth onto each cookie using a piping bag or toothpick.
Tint white chocolate with pink or red oil-based food coloring and pipe small blush spots. If the chocolate seizes, stir in neutral oil (e.g. canola) teaspoon by teaspoon until smooth.

Servings And Timing

Yields approximately 11–12 cookies (depending on size).
Prep time: ~20 minutes (including chilling).
Bake time: 9–11 minutes per batch, with cooling.
Total time: ~45–60 minutes including shaping, baking, and decorating.

Variations

Flavor Swap: Replace blueberry with freeze-dried strawberry powder and jam for strawberry-themed cookies.
Color Options: Use different food colorings to make other Pokémon-inspired or plant-themed shapes.
Chocolate Chips: Stir in mini chocolate chips into the dough before shaping for extra texture.
Filled Centers: Make thumbprint centers filled with jam instead of shaping faces.
Gluten-Free Option: Substitute with a gluten-free flour blend and omit the jam or check for gluten-free blueberry jam.

Storage/Reheating

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Keep decorated side facing up, and separate layers with parchment paper if stacking.
Cookies may soften over time; for a slightly crisper edge, reheat briefly in a 300 °F oven for 3–4 minutes before serving.

FAQs

How do I get the blueberry flavor without jam?

You can increase the blueberry powder slightly or stir in finely chopped freeze-dried blueberries for more flavor without extra jam.

Can I make the dough ahead?

Yes—chill in the fridge for up to 24 hours before shaping. Bring to room temperature before forming cookies.

Why does the green dough need to be separate?

Keeping separate ensures clean color contrast for Oddish’s leaves and makes shaping easier.

What if I don’t have oil-based food coloring?

Without oil-based coloring, tinted white chocolate may seize. If this happens, add a teaspoon of neutral oil at a time until it smooths out.

Can I freeze the dough or cookies?

Yes—you can freeze unbaked dough portions or baked cookies in airtight containers for up to one month. Thaw at room temperature before decorating or enjoying.

My cookies spread too much—what should I do?

Chill the dough more thoroughly before baking, and ensure cookie size is consistent. Also, keep oven temperature accurate.

Can I use other jams?

Yes—raspberry, blackberry, or mixed berry jams add similar flavor and color.

Why shape as a football instead of a disk?

The football shape gives a round bulging appearance reminiscent of Oddish’s body and accommodates attaching feet and leaves.

Can I skip the decoration?

Yes—skip the facial details and enjoy them as blueberry jam cookies shaped like plant bulbs.

Are these suitable for kids?

Absolutely! The colorful shapes and fun faces make these especially kid-friendly and great for parties or bake projects.

Conclusion

These Blueberry Oddish Cookies combine playful design with chewy blueberry flavor and buttery richness. They’re fun to bake and absolutely adorable to serve—perfect for fans of Pokémon, plant lovers, or anyone craving charm and sweetness in cookie form. Enjoy shaping, decorating, and tasting these whimsical treats!
