How To Make lemon iced blueberry cookies

• Step 1
  Using an electric mixer, cream the shortening with the sugar. Add the egg and beat well. Add the milk and beat well until incorporated.
• Step 2
  In a separate bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder. Whisk to make sure the ingredients are well blended. Add the flour mixture to the mixer bowl and blend. Don't overbeat - mix just until flour is incorporated.
• Step 3
  Fold in the blueberries. Chill the dough for 1-2 hours.
• Step 4
  Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper (can also use ungreased cookie sheets). Drop by teaspoonfuls, about 2 inches apart.
• Step 5
  Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the edges begin to brown and the cookies are almost set in the middle. Cool on the cookie sheets for 2-3 minutes, then transfer to finish cooling on a metal rack. Cookies can be frosted when completely cool.
• Step 6
  Make the icing: Sift the powdered sugar into a medium bowl. Add the lemon extract and butter. Stir to combine. Add more water as needed to make a thick icing, but loose enough to spread on the cookies.
