1 tablespoon juice from one lemon
1 tablespoon lemon rind
Mix together powdered sugar, lemon juice and lemon rind in a small bowl.

- You can make the dough ahead of time and store the dough in your refrigerator. I highly recommend making them the day or morning of and then you can bake them and have them ready to decorate later.
- Line your baking sheets with parchment paper. This really saves on clean up and makes the cookies easy to lift off of the pan.

I haven’t had scones in a long time, but these caught my eye because I love blueberries. Pinned! I’m visiting from The Pin Junkie. If you need decor for St. Patrick’s Day, I’ve got you covered with #8 at the party. Have a nice weekend!
