This is what happens when one wakes up with a blueberry muffin craving: Pre-work baking. Good thing that I keep frozen blueberries and red currants in the freezer, for times like these! Easy peasy and done in under 45 minutes.

Took a couple of days off from making things this week after the marathon baking week last week. And of course work was busy at the end of the quarter so I wouldn’t have had time anyway. But I did decide to make these little gems, which seem to me to be rather spring-like, even though nothing about oatmeal or apricots says spring really. They are super easy to make, pretty hard to mess up and taste great even for breakfast (there is that oatmeal in the equation).
Here’s something to cheer up a Monday afternoon, first Monday of Spring (one where Boston saw “a plowable snow event”, as they so eloquently say these days). Millefleur of Blueberry Almond Linzer Cookies. OK, I didn’t actually make a thousand of them, but they are cute and small and a batch of cookie dough did make a whole bunch. Similar to may of the linzer cookies I make, these have a double dose of almond (almond extract and almond meal) as well as double blueberry (blueberry sugar and blueberry jam).
