TTT's - Blueberry Blossoms

In staying with our cookie theme this month, we decided to do a little experimenting in the kitchen this week... One son wanted sugar cookies, I wanted shortbread cookies and the other son wanted blueberry cookies. So we put our creative minds together and we came up with Sugared Shortbread Blueberry Blossoms. :)

• 1 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
• 1 cup (2 sticks) butter soft
• 2 egg
• 1 Teaspoon vanilla
• 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 Teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 Teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/8 Teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 Teaspoon finely chopped pecans
• 1 cup raw sugar
• 1/2 can blueberry pie filling

DIRECTIONS

In large bowl, blend sugar and butter. Beat in egg and vanilla until light and fluffy. Mix in flour and baking soda. Divide dough in half. Shape each half into roll about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour until chilled. * Cut rolls into 1/4-inch slices. Place on ungreased baking sheet and sprinkle generously with additional sugar. Bake in 375° oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned around edges. Cool on wire rack.
