I'm not a huge fan of shortbread but these are good if that is the kind of cookie you are looking for. I served them with a fancy fruit salad at my DBF's son's wedding rehearsal dinner and they were light and refreshing at the end of a big meal. Thanks much.

    A friend brought these to camp to share and they were wonderful. I'm posting because I hounded her for the recipe and will make them for sure. Lovely!

    There isn't anything much better then the combination of lemons and blueberries. This is no exception. The cookies are a bit delicate, but would be ideal for tea, or the lemonade I'm having right now. They are very tasty when warm, but the flavour of the lemon improves as they cool. I didn't measure the peel, but grated the entire lemon. Probably a bit more than the recipe calls for, but I love lemon peel, so it wouldn't bother me at all. This is a great recipe. Quick and easy to make. DiB's, you really have to try these! UPDATE March 31, 2007. I froze some of these and had last night. Wow! These just get better and better. The lemon flavour has increased, and so has the blueberries. Amazing! Oh yes.....ate them right out of the freezer

    These are quite good. My bro tasted one and said it didn't taste like cheap cookies. I zested a whole lemon. It gave a hint of lemon. My only complaint is that they were delicate (as another reviewer put it). I might tweak it next time to make it a firmer cookie. I did get 32 cookies. I pressed down on the dough balls to the thickness of the dried blueberries.
