In a separate bowl, combine 3/4 cup lemon juice, buttermilk and vanilla. Add flour and buttermilk mixture to batter alternately, beating well after each addition, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Stir in crushed cookies., Toss blueberries and remaining flour; fold into batter, taking care not to crush berries. Pour into two greased and floured 8x4-in. loaf pans lined with parchment paper. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 50-60 minutes. Cool 10 minutes., Stir glaze ingredients together. Remove cakes from pans and place on wire racks. Drizzle glaze over cakes, allowing some to run down sides. Sprinkle with lemon peel and, if desired, additional crushed cookies.

BLUEBERRY-LEMON CRUMB BARS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
• Start by making the crust. In a medium bowl, stir together the 2 cups flour, 2 tablespoons white sugar, lemon zest and salt. Cut in the 1/2 cup butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Beat egg and vanilla together; stir into the crumb mixture until a dough forms. Press into the bottom of the prepared pan.
• Bake for 12 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden. Remove from oven and set aside to cool slightly.
• Sprinkle blueberries over the crust. Combine the 1/4 cup sugar and nutmeg; sprinkle over the blueberries. Make the topping: In a medium bowl, cream together the 5 tablespoons butter and brown sugar until smooth. Mix in the flour, so that the mixture is crumbly like streusel. Sprinkle over the blueberry layer.
• Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven, until browned. Cool and then dust with confectioners' sugar before cutting into bars.

BLUEBERRY-LEMON MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a 12-muffin tin with cupcake liners and set aside.
• Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg together in a medium bowl; set aside.
• Put the butter in a microwaveable-safe dish or measuring cup. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave until melted, about 30 seconds. (Alternatively melt the butter in a saucepan.) Whisk the milk, eggs, lemon zest, and vanilla with the butter.
• Make a small well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour wet ingredients into the well, then stir with a wooden spoon until the dry ingredients are moistened but still lumpy. Do not overmix the batter or your muffins will be dense. Gently stir in the blueberries. Divide the batter evenly into the muffin tin and sprinkle the tops generously with sugar.
• Put the muffins in the oven and immediately reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees F. Bake until golden brown, about 25 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through the cooking. (Insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin to check if it is done. Toothpick should come out clean). Cool muffins in the pan on a rack for a couple minutes. Turn the muffins out of the pan and cool on the rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
