Blueberry Cookies With Lemon Glaze

Do you have a food that you like only when it’s been cooked or baked into something? That’s how I feel about blueberries and lemons. By themselves, I’m not a fan but put them in a cookie, a drink, shoot, a glaze atop my steak and I will devour it. That’s what makes these blueberry lemon cookies so yummy. The fresh fruit is baked right in and sandwhich-ed between soft cookie dough.

It’s taken a couple of years to perfect this recipe. First, there was too much flour. Then, the cook time wasn’t right. Next, there were too many blueberries. (Yes, you can have too many blueberries.) After several tries, I finally got it right. Practice makes perfect, right?

I made these this past weekend for my daughter’s dance studio tea party (for their upcoming production of Pinocchio-get your tickets here). That’s when I discovered that this recipe’s perfection had been perfected. I ran out of one ingredient, risked it and substituted another and BAM! A happy accident! Better than before.

With this recipe in particular I used my hands to complete the dough mixture. The dough is soft and the blueberries I use are fresh and extremely plump making them super juicy. That means trying to use a mixer or spoon ain’t gonna cut it. (That’s southern talk.) If you use a spoon, the blueberries won’t be fully incorporated. If you use a mixer, you’re going to beat them to a pulp and then you’ll have a bunch of sad bleeding blueberries all over your cookies.

These blueberry cookies with lemon glaze, or scones as some of my friends call them (sconies!), are fabulous by themselves but the glaze is the icing on top of the…cookie. The lemon zest and lemon juice blended into powdered sugar and whipping cream is just to die for.
