Delicate, not too tart, not too sweet, a touch buttery; maybe the perfect cookie.

The colour alone makes me want to make these! :D I'll have to wait a couple of weeks to get fresh berries, they're wicket expensive out of season and Summer's not quite here yet for us. :D Beautiful!

I'm glad you like these! And the color is just gorgeous! Who doesn't want to eat a purple cookie? :D We're in the fall here and the berries I bought for these I think are the last I'll see for this year, so I got to these at just the right time.

Haha, they do kind of look like soap! Good thing they don't taste like soap.

These look delicious! I always try to add some whole wheat flour to my baking recipes. Do you sub half the white with wheat or do you do the whole amount?

Thank you! In this case I planned to go for the whole amount, just because I've used this recipe a lot and know it well. Otherwise, it's just very much based on how I feel that day. I kind of make up a good portion of my baking on the fly, which is a terrible habit because the recipes end up sounding like this one.

Yup, I usually end up modifying recipes. I've written some things down in the margins of cookbooks. But when I go back to read them, either I don't know which changes I'm referring to or I haven't written it down. Not to mention the little pieces of paper I jot things on & then stuff in the book. I really am trying to write down my experiments - and keep straight which ones worked! lol

Bookmarking these, thank you!

Almond and blueberry is a fabulous combination! I have muffins and a bread recipe with that combo.

*sigh* Now I want some.

A very colourful cookie. I'm going to give it a try ... one of these days. :) I wonder if frozen blueberries work.
