Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
0.5 teaspoons baking powder
0.25 teaspoons salt
1 cup unsalted butter
, softened
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs yolks
0.5 cups dried blueberries
2 tablespoons grated lemon zest
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon confectioners' sugar
, or as needed
Instructions
1
Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl.
2
Beat butter with an electric mixer in a bowl until creamy, about 1 minute. Add sugar; beat until blended. Beat in egg yolks, one at a time; beat in blueberries, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Scrape down sides of the bowl; beat 1 minute more. Reduce mixer speed to low; add flour mixture, beating just until a smooth dough forms.
3
Divide dough in half; shape into logs (1 1/2-inches in diameter and 10-inches long). Wrap logs in plastic wrap; refrigerate until firm, 2 hours or up to 3 days. Dough can also be frozen and thawed when ready to bake.
4
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place an oven rack in the center position.
5
Unwrap 1 dough log and slice into 1/4-inch-thick rounds; place 1 inch apart onto an ungreased cookie sheet.
6
Bake in the preheated oven until edges start to turn golden, 9 to 11 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack; cool completely, 15 to 30 minutes. Dust with confectioners' sugar when cool. Repeat with remaining dough.
