"I watched Giada De Laurentiis make these yesterday. They appear to be a soft cookie that is not too sweet. My husband LOVES blueberries and these look really good."

I'm not a big blueberry fan but I thought these were really good. They don't hold up after acouple of days. The longer they sit the more moist they get. The lemon and blueberries are great together though.
