Recipe notes and helpful tips

  • When you purchase the blueberries for this recipe, do not look for the biggest blueberries. Some blueberries are as big as the end of my thumb and that is just to darn big for a cookie.
  • Work gently when folding in the blueberries. The dough is stiff but it can be done with patience or as a last resort working them in when you roll them.
  • Be careful when moving them from the baking sheet to cooling racks.
  • Lemon and lemon zest are an easy substitution for the glaze in this. If going that route substitute a little lemon juice for the orange extract.

    Could I use juice from an orange instead of using orange extract? If could how much would I need to use if using fresh orange juice?

      You could. It will not have as much flavor but it is all natural. Use 1/2 tablespoon.
