Blueberry Lemon Pinwheels

So, are you noticing a blueberry & lemon theme lately?  Yeah, me too. 

It wasn't intentional, I just really need to use up these blueberries

and, honestly, I can't think of a better pairing than lemon. 

 

I want to eat cookies, but it's summertime, and I'm doing that Couch to 5k program,

so I want to make them with fruit and pretend that they're good for me. 

Blueberries are FULL of antioxidants, you guys.

These are basically a sugar cookie flavored with lemon

but you could easily change things up to suit your taste.  

 

Use another flavor combo... maybe lime cookies with a cherry filling,

pistachios instead of almonds if you wanted to keep things green.

(Yes.) 

Oooh!  Or key lime cookies, with some kind of graham cracker, cream cheese type filling! 

(Totally doing that.)

 

You could even just bake lemon sugar cookies, which sounds like an excellent idea to me. 

Blueberry Cream Scones (or Let Them Eat Blueberries)

As previously discussed; blueberries, it's time to eat them.

I happen to be located near enough to Leduc Blueberries to get fresh blueberries every summer.  I mean, everyone can probably get blueberries from the grocery store, but they are so much better when you can get them right from the source.  I usually end up with a 5 pound box, and  I eat them fresh for as long as I can, but I always have to freeze some, because my husband, of course, doesn't really care for them.  Not even in pancakes.  Muffins only, but how many muffins is one girl expected to make?  So today's project, in an effort to use up last summer's blueberries, is blueberry scones.
