Lemon Blueberry Cream Cookies (Maine)

Lemon Blueberry Cream Cookies (Maine)

Here in Maine we celebrate the change in seasons by taking advantage of the bountiful foods available to us for harvesting. When blueberry season hits, the flavor starts popping up all over the place: in coffees, cakes, pies, jams and more. These lemon blueberry cream cookies are light, refreshing and celebrate one of Maine’s most popular flavors, the Maine wild blueberry. Check out all our United States of Cookies recipes here.
