These Blueberry Lemon Ginger Thumbprint Cookies pack a bright citrus punch!. A lemony ginger thumbprint cookie is baked and then filled with a blueberry lemon ginger filling to create a one of a kind flavor combination.
In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream together butter and sugar.
Stir in eggs, lemon zest, grated ginger, lemon juice and salt.
Add flour and mix until just combined.
Using a medium cookie scoop, roll dough into balls and place on parchment or silicone mat lined baking sheet. Using your thumb, make an indentation in the middle of each dough ball.
Bake cookies until lightly golden, about 18-20 minutes.
Filling
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, add dip and bring to simmer.
