Sugar Cookies With Blueberries Added

Who doesn’t love sugar cookies? Warning: If you are on a diet and avoiding sweets you might want to save this recipe. Then later when you go off your diet (probably by March or April) you will be able to indulge in this delicious treat.

My friend Peggy made these and added blueberries and nuts to some of them. She iced some of them and left others plain. Being the good taste tester that I am, I tried one of each (okay, two or three of each) and my favorites were the ones that had blueberries and icing.

My grandmother made sugar cookies when I was a little girl but hers were a flatter, crispy cookie. These are soft and fluffy and delicious!
