Interesting facts on lemon and blueberries
Some of you are pretty anxious to start baking so I’ll make these fun facts short and sweet. First, let’s talk about the lemon, the British Navy used this fruit to prevent scurvy, back in the 18th century. A disease caused by not eating enough fruits and vegetables with vitamin C. Now, let’s take a look at the blueberries. I learned have over 500 types, now that is a lot of blueberries! Blueberries are also high in vitamin C but during the 18th century, the Colonist would mix the berries with milk to make gray paint.

Baker notes:
I had some extra dough at the end so I got curious how they will turn out in the air fryer. Wow, I was surprised. The cookie had a fluffier texture and just a hint of a crispy edge. So win-win, oven or air fryer and you get two different textures and fabulous cookies.
Let the cookies cool off completely before putting them in an air tight container. Store at room temperature for 1 to 2 days and in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Tools:
- Cookie Sheet: USA Pan
- Cookie Scoop: Oxo medium
- Stand-Up Mixer: Bosch Universal
- Mixing Bowls: Anchor and Hockings glassware
Skills:
- These cookies can be cooked in the air fryer at 300 degrees Fahrenheit for 9 minutes on the manual setting. I use the Cosori air fryer, 5.8 qt. So the temperature and baking time might be different for other types.
Thanks for ready my very 1st ever Post, which I did all by myself. What a great learning experience. I really enjoy doing photography and can see why my Mon loves doing it so much. Once I get better with my mom’s old digital camera, I will graduate up to the DSLR. I’m so excited to do more.
