Lemon Icing

- Add the eggs, lemon juice, lemon zest, and Half & Half, and continue mixing for an additional 3 minutes.
- Add the Baking Powder and Flour and mix only until the flour is incorporated into the cookie dough.
- Wash and dry the Fresh Blueberries and add them to the cookie dough.

- Bake the cookies in an oven preheated to 350 degrees for 9-10 minutes or until the cookies are golden brown around the edges.

- Drizzle the lemon juice over the tops of the cookies once they are fully cooled.
- Allow the icing to set up before storing the cookies.
Notes
Storage Instructions
Cookies should always be stored in an airtight container. They should be completely cooled before storing them. We usually add a layer of parchment paper between each row of cookies in our plastic container. Cookies stored at room temperature should stay fresh for 3-4 days. You can also keep them in the refrigerator and that extends their freshness for up to a week. If you need them to last longer, you can freeze them for up to 3 months. You can pull them out of the freezer and leave them on the counter for 1 hour and they will be ready to eat.
