Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 egg york
- 1/4 to 1/3 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest, about 1 lemon
- 1/2 cup chopped almonds, toasted
- 1 cup frozen blueberries, thawed and drained

In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.
In another medium bowl, cream together the butter and sugar using a hand mixer. Add egg and beat to incorporate. Add milk, almond extract, and lemon zest.
Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Fold in the almonds, then the blueberries. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Cool the cookies on a wire rack. Save in a storage container to take to the picnic.

These cookies have great flavor...just like what the other reviewers say...like a blueberry muffin top or scone. Just a little too sweet for my taste. Instead of 1 c. sugar...I would add 3/4 c. next time.

Tastes like a blueberry muffin top! I used fresh blueberries, a whole egg rather than just a yolk per other reviewers' recommendations, and added a dash of vanilla. Other than that, followed the recipe as written. I used a 1.5 inch scoop to portion out the dough. They rose up nicely, were soft in the center and crispy around the edges, like the top of a blueberry muffin. Delicious! They're best eaten the day they're baked, though, because the next day, they had softened up and lost the crispy edges. Still yummy, though. Love the muffin-like texture.

These are my favorite cookies! They're delicious : and the texture seems more like a scone but I love it. I feel like I'm eating a healthy cookie. I'm about to make a batch right now!
