Healthy Recipes Dessert Cookies Easy Lemon-Blueberry Cookies 5.0 (1) 1 Review These lemon-blueberry cookies are sweet and tangy with a chewy center, thanks to the addition of cream of tartar that gives them a texture similar to a classic snickerdoodle. They spread as they bake, so be sure to give them a full 2 inches of space on the baking sheet.

Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
