What it is
These are delicate, buttery shortbread cookies infused with the sweet and slightly tart flavor of blueberries. They are typically made with a simple dough that bakes to a tender, crumbly texture. The blueberries are often incorporated as small pieces or a swirl throughout the cookie, providing bursts of fruity taste and color. They are a classic baked good enjoyed for their simple yet satisfying flavor profile.
