**Blueberry Lemon-Frost Cookies**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 2 large eggs
– 2 teaspoons lemon zest
– 1 tablespoon lemon juice
– 3 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt

**For the Frosting:**
– 2 cups powdered sugar
– 2-3 tablespoons lemon juice
– 1 teaspoon lemon zest
– Blue food coloring (optional)
– Additional fresh blueberries for garnish (optional)
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the lemon zest and lemon juice.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
6. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries using a spatula, being careful not to overmix.
7. Drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
9. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. While the cookies are cooling, prepare the frosting. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more lemon juice if needed.
11. Once the cookies are completely cooled, spread or drizzle the frosting over the tops of the cookies. If desired, add a few fresh blueberries on top for garnish.
12. Allow the frosting to set before serving. Enjoy your delicious Blueberry Lemon-Frost Cookies!
