DRIED BLUEBERRY COOKIES RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Like a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl combine the butter and sugar.
• Using an electric mixer beat at medium until well incorporated and fluffy.
• Beat in egg yolks and lemon peel.
• Sift into a medium mixing bowl the flour, cornstarch, baking powder and salt.
• Add flour mixture 1/2 cup at a time to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed until just crumbly.
• Stir in blueberries*.
• Place dough on lightly floured surface, divide in half.
• Knead each half until dough holds together.
• Using your hands form 16 balls out of each half.
• Place the first 16 evenly on the parchment lined cookie sheet.
• Take a glass, dip it in sugar and press each ball to 1/4 inch thickness.
• Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, or until cookies are JUST golden around the edges.
• Repeat with second half.
• *You can also use dried cranberries or cherries for these cookies.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F
• Combine flour, allspice or cinn, baking soda and salt.
• Stir in oatmeal, pecans and blueberries.
• Beat oil, maple syrup, egg and zest until mixture lightens in color.
• Stir in dry ingredients into wet. Mix until combined.
• Let stand 20-30 minutes to thicken.
• Drop onto parchement-lined baking sheets. (I use either a 1 or 2 TBSP cookie scoop) Flatten slightly.
• Bake until they begin to darken and change color around the edges, about 15-20 minutes.
• Remove from pan. Place directly on countertop or other solid surface. I place parchment paper on my countertop. This will allow them to retain moisture as they cool.
