Where I live, it’s blueberry season. Early, but you get some really nice ones these days. I happened upon this picture of lovely blueberry cookies on a Facebook post and could not resist. I am going to try these, have not yet. I clicked the link.
BUT, when I went to the website to see the recipe there, in the pictures the cookies are blue. I make an incredibly mean blueberry coffee cake and it does not come out blue. It is in the way you stir, gently so as not to crush the blueberries.
