    Title: Blueberry-Lemon Drops
    Categories: Cookies, Snacks, Fruits, Citrus
    Yield: 32 Servings

    1/4 c Butter; softened
    1/4 c Shortening
    1 c Granulated sugar
    1 ts Baking powder
    1 ts Fine shredded lemon peel
    1/2 ts Baking soda
    1/2 ts Salt
    2 lg Eggs
    1 tb Lemon juice
    1 1/2 c All-purpose flour
    1/2 c Flaked coconut
    1 c Fresh blueberries
    1 c Powdered sugar
    1 tb Lemon juice
    1/2 c Fine chopped pistachios

    Set oven @ 375ºF/190ºC.

    Line cookie sheets with parchment paper; set aside.

    In a large mixing bowl beat butter and shortening with an
    electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds.
    Add the granulated sugar, baking powder, lemon peel,
    baking soda, and salt. Beat until combined, scraping
    sides of bowl occasionally. Beat in the eggs and 1
    tablespoon lemon juice until combined. Beat in as much of
    the flour as you can with the mixer. Stir in any
    remaining flour and the coconut.

    Drop dough by rounded teaspoons 3 inches apart onto the
    prepared cookie sheets. Place 3 to 4 blueberries in the
    center of each cookie. Bake for 11 to 13 minutes or until
    edges are golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack and let
    cool.

    In a small bowl stir together the powdered sugar and 1
    tablespoon lemon juice. Stir in additional lemon juice, 1
    teaspoon at a time, to make a thin icing. Gently spread
    icing on top of cookies. Sprinkle with the pistachio
    nuts. Let stand until set.

    TO STORE: Layer cookies between sheets of waxed paper in
    an airtight container; cover. Store at room temperature
    for up to 3 days. Or freeze uniced cookies for up to 3
    months; thaw and spread with icing.
