2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup shortening
¼ cup milk
1 egg
1 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 ½ teaspoons lemon zest
1 cup fresh blueberries

Steps:

In a large mixing bowl, cream the shortening, sugar, egg, milk, almond extract and lemon zest. Mix well after the addition of each ingredient. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; blend into the sugar mixture. Fold in the blueberries. Cover and chill for 4 hours.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Drop dough by teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets, about 1 1/2 inches apart.
