    These Blueberry Lemon Cookies are the perfect cookie version of your favorite muffin!  They are perfect for fresh blueberry season.  

    If you are a follower of this blog, you already know how we feel about desserts around my house.  We LOVE them.  I am always looking for new and exciting treats.

    One morning we were eating blueberry muffins.  I thought about how delicious that would be as a cookie.  Plus if there is fruit it makes it healthier right??  Well, I like to think so!

    When I first tried the cookies with just blueberries I knew something was missing.  I then went back to the drawing board.  I went back to the farmer’s market for more fresh blueberries.  

    There was a booth that was selling fresh lemonade.  The solution to my cookie problem didn’t occur to me until I was enjoying a tall lemonade on my way home.  

    Blueberries and lemons go perfectly together.  Just the right amount of tart and sweet.  I have been making these Blueberry Lemon Cookies ever since!  

    When I got home I tried the recipe again, this time using the zest and the juice of a lemon.  I knew I was on the right track as the were baking.  The lemon smelled amazing!

    That night we had these Blueberry Lemon Cookies as our nightly sweet treat.  These cookies with a big glass of milk tasted perfect!  They have been a favorite here ever since.

    We have played with the amounts of blueberries and lemon.  You can add more or less of each to make them perfect for your family!

    Enjoy!
