Ingredients

For the cookies

  • 125 g Butter or baking spread
  • 200 g Golden caster sugar
  • 1 Egg large
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 2 Lemons zest only
  • 50 g Oats
  • 150 g Plain flour
  • 1 tsp Baking powder
  • Blueberries

For icing (optional)

  • 2-3 tbsp Lemon juice
  • 150 g Icing sugar

Instructions

  • Pre-heat your oven to 160C Fan/180C/350F/Gas Mark 4, and line a few baking trays (or however many you own) with baking paper
  • Mix the butter and golden caster sugar together in a large bowl using an electric whisk, or silicone spoon
  • Add the egg, lemon zest and vanilla extract, and mix them in with a spoon or spatula
  • Mix in the oats, plain flour and baking powder with a spoon
  • Spoon blobs of the mixture onto your lined baking trays, then add 3 or 4 blueberries per cookie. Push them into the batter and cover them with batter. Leave space between the cookies as they will spread
  • Bake the cookies for 12-14 minutes until they are golden brown, leave them on the tray for 5 minutes before carefully removing and placing on racks to cool fully
  • Make the icing by mixing the lemon juice and icing sugar together into a thick paste. Add the lemon juice a little at a time as you may not need it all. Once the cookies are fully cool drizzle it all over them
  • The cookies are best served on the same day. They are still good for 2 days after, but they do go softer and more fragile because of the moisture from the blueberries
