I doubled this recipe and used a teaspoon to drop them. I tried the first batch and sprinkled sugar on the next tray and cinnamon sugar on the next tray. I took them to a picnic and they almost didn't make it past the sign in table!
Not a bad start, but definitely a very cake-y cookie following the original recipe. Having read the other reviews, I upped the butter by a 1/4 stick, omitted one egg, added a little extra sugar, and added a little oatmeal just for good measure. Having done so, the end cookie was just a touch sour, so I made a vanilla-lemon glaze, using lemon juice, 10x sugar, and vanilla extract, and drizzled it on. They flew off the plate so fast at work I had to take in more the next day for friends who missed them.
These cookies reminded me more of a scone than a cookie. but they are great. need to add a little more sugar and lemon.you can also use lemon zest it will give a little more flavor.
This is an easy simple recipe...for blueberry scones! These aren't cookies folks--prepare for a pleasant fruity dense biscut...also known as a scone. Not a disappointment but not cookies either.: )
I read the other reviews that state this are running and cake like. I got mine to be soft and more cookie like by reducing the milk to 1/4 cup instead of 1/2 cup. I double the blueberries and the lemon zest and they came out excellent. Love this recipe.
I really enjoyed these cookies although I don't believe that one cup of blueberries is enough. I added 1-1/2 cups and I think the recipe could use more. I also added about 1 tsp. of lemon zest. Because this dough turns out so soft and the cookies really spread in the over, next time I will chill the dough about an hour before baking.
WONDERFUL recipe! The double batch made 6 dozen good-sized cookies. These are perfect tea cookies - light fluffy just a hint of lemon and not too sweet. I doubled the blueberries - perfect!
These are absolutely delicious! I made a few tweeks, mainly substituting the juice of one lemon and some of its zest for extract while adding in a dash of vanilla extract. The other main alteration was adding in some white chocolate chips. I think the boyfriend would have proposed right then and there if he had found anything ring shaped. They are a bit scone like as another reviewer said, but we both love that texture of cookie anyways.
The dough was runny and the result was not cookies; they were way too cake-like. The texture was too spongey to be considered a cookie and the flavor was absolutely BLAND. I'm sorry I wasted my blueberries on this recipe.
