I tried a few recipes while I was on vacation the week of August 14th.

I like baking cookies, so I'm going to make some (in my opinion) summer cookies.

Fall / winter cookies tend to be spiced or chocolate or iced,  these summer cookies are fruity.

Blueberry White Chocolate Cookies


Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour

1⁄2 teaspoon baking powder

1⁄8 teaspoon salt

1⁄3 cup unsalted butter, softened

1⁄3 cup + 1 tablespoon granulated sugar

1⁄3 cup frozen blueberries

1⁄2 cup white chocolate chips


Instructions at link below  - important note - the instructions specify 15 minutes at 400F.  I did that on the center rack, and about 10 of my first batch of cookies were burned.  The rest were well done, but still good.  For the rest I was baking (I made enough dough for 4 batches, each batch only yields 12 cookies) I cut down the baking time to 12 1/2 minutes, and they seemed to be still a tad well done, so either cut down the baking time, or lower the temp of the oven.
