I found a bag of dried blueberries in my cabinet and I wasn't sure what to do with them (who knows why I aimlessly buy these things). Then I remembered my motto: When in doubt, bake cookies.
LEMON-BLUEBERRY OATMEAL COOKIES
Yield: 5 dozen
2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
1 cup confectioners’ sugar (or other very finely ground granulated sweetener)
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest
1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup old fashioned (or quick cooking) oats
1 cup (6 oz.) dried blueberries
1. Preheat oven to 325º F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, mix the butter and maple crystals until smooth and creamy. Add the lemon juice and lemon zest and stir well.
3. Add the flour, baking soda and salt; mix only until well combined. Add the oatmeal and blueberries; mix only until incorporated.
4. Chill the dough for about 5 minutes.
5. Roll dough into walnut sized balls (about 1 tablespoon each) and place an inch apart on the baking sheets (cookies should be kept small because they’re a little delicate). Bake for 20 minutes or until lightly browned.

When in doubt, bake cookies. I love it. And I agree. These look divine. I posted cookies today too, but these are inspiring me to make some cranberry orange oatmeal cookies (since that's what I have on hand in MY cabinet). I might adapt this recipe tonight!
