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!
