Blueberry Lemon Cookies

I have quite the sweet tooth. As does my boyfriend, brother, dad and mom. So typically, when I come across recipes like this, I expect them to be devoured. And, as usual, I was correct. However, my mom and I like to change recipes to make them a little healthier, and sometimes it makes things amazing and other times they are horrible and inedible. And, as my dad is diabetic, one of the main things I reduce is typically oil or butter.

This recipe calls for 1 cup butter. Meaning 2 sticks. Meaning Paula Dean levels of butter. And I just refuse to believe that a cookie really needs that much fat in it. So, being typical me, I cut it in half.  And seeing as there is only one left from the 36 I made this morning, i'd say it was a success. While I have not made the original, and I also cut out the cream cheese (i'm not a fan), the texture was much more cakey. The recipe calls for 3 cups a flower and to my 1/2 cup of butter and 1 egg, it was bound to happen. But they were not too lemoney or overly sweet and would make the perfect coffee cookie or tea cookie. The recipe was very easy to follow and absolutely delicious. I will be making them again soon in the VERY near future. :)
