Blueberry Biscuits
There’s a certain magic in the air when the smell of baking cookies mixes with the taste of blueberries.
It takes me back to simpler times when the benefits of summer were incorporated into every activity
imaginable. A combination of light, fluffy, and full of sweet, juicy berries, blueberry cookies hold a
special place in my heart. Imagine taking a piece of your favorite cake and mixing it with an armful of

homemade cookies; That’s what you get here. The
is perfect when you want to capture the essence of the entire year or need the comfort that only an
old recipe can provide.
These blueberry cookies are delicious on their own, but to make a complete breakfast, you can serve
them warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a dollop of vanilla ice cream for extra flavor. To make it

of coffee or a large glass of cold milk.

Variations and Tips
– For a spicier touch, add some lemon zest to blue the inside of the bread.
– If blue is not in season, you can replace it with a cool (not cold) blue, bearing in mind that it may
stain a little.
– For those who like sweets, powdered sugar can be sprinkled on the slightly cooled cookies.
– Remember that cold butter is the key to easy cookies and you have to work quickly to keep the
dough cool. If the dough is too hot, let it sit in the refrigerator for a few minutes before continuing.
– Always handle your dough with love, but also handle it gently; Too much processing will result in
tough cookies, and we want them to be as soft as a heart warmed by the morning sun.
