How To Make ~ orange essence blueberry shortbread ~

    Preheat oven to 350 degree F. Cream together the sugar and butter until fluffy. Mix in the extract and zest. Beat in the flour, dough should be crumbly.
  • 2
    Stir in blueberries. Using clean hands, pinch about a tablespoon of dough and squeeze into a ball, place on cookie sheet about 1/2 inch apart. ( Gram would sometimes press the dough into a pan and bake them that way, then cut. )
  • 3
    Using a glass dipped in sugar, press lightly on dough to flatten a little.
  • 4
    Bake for 15 minutes or until starting to lightly brown on edges. Remove from oven and cool on rack. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.
