It's surprisingly difficult to find a really good lemon cookie. Often, the recipes are for shortbread or lemon bar-type cookies....which I love; but I also love variety! The moistness which the instant pudding provides in this recipe, as well as the ease of preparation, will make this a cookie you'll prepare over and over again. Read more The slightly tart lemony cookie, combined with sweet blueberries and crunchy pecans, is a winning combination. I'd be willing to bet it will quickly become your most popular cookie and frequently requested recipe as well!! See less
