Buttermilk is a wonderful addition to this delicate breakfast cookie. The buttermilk glaze is tangy and the cookie is light and not too sweet, making it a perfect anytime treat.

Instructions
In mixer with paddle attachment, mix butter, both kinds of sugar, and salt. Beat until creamy.
Add in eggs, buttermilk and vanilla. Mix on medium speed until mixture is well mixed and creamy.
In a bowl toss blueberries with one tablespoon cornstarch. Set aside.
Sift remaining dry ingredients then add to butter mixture and mix on low. Stop mixer as soon as the dough comes together.
Take out paddle attachment and mix the dough by hand for a few turns. Very carefully, either with a spoon or clean hands, fold in blueberries into dough. Careful to not squish the berries.
Once the dough is thoroughly mixed, take a 3oz cookie scoop and carefully scoop out 18 mounds of dough onto a baking tray.
Allow dough to rest in fridge overnight or you can freeze for at least 3 hours prior to baking.
Preheat oven to 375*
Place cookie dough on parchment lined baking sheet with at least 2 inches spacing between each cookie.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or when the edges begin to turn golden brown.
Allow to cool on baking tray for at least 10 minutes before transferring to wire rack to cool completely.
Buttermilk Glaze
Combine powdered sugar with buttermilk on low speed in mixer or with a whisk by hand.
Mix until smooth. Use immediately.
You can dip the cooled cookies in the glaze then place back on a cookie rack to set up for at least 30 minutes or, drizzle a tablespoon on top of each cookie after they cool. Either way is delicious.
