Blueberry Lemon Drop Cookies

INGREDIENTS

1/2 cup (1/4 lb) butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 tsp grated lemon peel
1 egg
2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/4 cup milk
1 cup fresh blueberries
Icing sugar

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

Beat butter until creamy with an electric mixer. Gradually add sugar, beating until smoothly blended, then beat in lemon peel and egg.

In a separate bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, and salt; gradually add to butter mixture, alternating by gradually adding milk, blending thoroughly. Gently stir in the blueberries.

Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls onto greased baking sheets, spacing cookies about 2 inches apart.

Bake for about 15 minutes or until golden brown. Transfer to racks and let cool for 5 minutes, then sift icing sugar lightly over tops.
