Using 1 1/2-inch cookie cutters, cut out dough into 60 desired shapes (at least 3 of each shape), gently pressing together and rerolling scraps as necessary.
• With pancake turner, transfer cutouts to plate of sugar, turning to coat both sides. On ungreased cookie sheets, place cutouts 1 inch apart. Prick each cutout 4 times with fork.

BLUEBERRY LEMON BARS WITH MERINGUE TOPPING

Steps:

• Combine flour, almond flour, and salt for crust in a bowl.
• Combine sugar, butter, shortening, and almond extract in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; beat until light and somewhat fluffy. Add dry ingredients on low speed until just mixed, about 1 minute; do not overmix.
• Drop dough into a 9x13-inch glass baking dish and flatten with floured hands, building up a 1/2-inch edge on the sides so the filling doesn't stick to the dish. Transfer to the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Remove crust from the refrigerator and bake on the center rack of the preheated oven until golden at the edges and pale golden in the center, 45 to 60 minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit on a wire rack until completely cool, about 30 minutes. Reduce oven heat to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
• While the crust is cooling, combine sugar, flour, lemon juice, honey, 6 egg yolks, 4 egg whites, lemon zest, and baking soda for filling in a bowl. Whisk briefly to combine, but don't overmix because we don't want to over-aerate the filling. Set aside 2 remaining egg whites for the meringue topping.
• Spread blueberries over the cooled crust, then pour filling over top.
• Bake in the 300 degrees F (150 degrees C) oven, checking frequently, until filling is set, 40 to 50 minutes. Remove from the oven, turn oven off, and let cool to room temperature on a wire rack, about 30 minutes.
• Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler to high, or 525 degrees F (274 degrees C).
• Combine 2 reserved egg whites from the filling with 2 egg whites, sugar, cream of tartar, and salt for meringue in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Whisk frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until sugar has dissolved and mixture is hot, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Remove egg white mixture from the heat and beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form. Increase speed to high and beat until meringue holds stiff, but spreadable, peaks. Spread and swirl meringue on top of the cooled blueberry bars.
• Set the lemon bars under the preheated broiler until meringue is evenly toasted and golden brown, about 30 to 60 seconds; do not walk away.
• Cut into 24 squares or triangles and refrigerate until chilled, about 3 hours.

LEMON BUTTERMILK PANCAKES WITH BLUEBERRY SAUCE

• Lightly coat a griddle or nonstick skillet with oil. Heat to medium-high and spoon 1/4 cup batter for each pancakes.
• Cook until bubbles form on top and batter is set-about 2-3 minutes. Top with Ten-Minute Blueberry Sauce and fresh blueberries if desired.
• In a medium saucepan, combine berries, sugar, orange juice, lemon juice, and cinnamon over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until berries begin to pop, about 7 minutes.

CREAM PUFFS WITH LEMON MOUSSE AND BLUEBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Make the cream puffs: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine water, butter, granulated sugar, and salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, and remove from heat. Stir in flour until combined, and return to medium heat. (This mixture is called a panade.)
• Dry the panade by stirring constantly for 4 minutes. It is ready when it pulls away from the sides and a film forms on the bottom of the pan.
• Transfer to the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, and mix on low until slightly cooled, about 2 minutes. On medium speed, add 4 eggs, one at a time, incorporating each completely before adding the next. Lightly beat fifth egg, and add a little at a time until batter is smooth and shiny. Test by touching it with your finger and lifting to form a string. If string does not form, the batter needs more egg. If you've added all the eggs and the batter still doesn't form a string, add water, 1 teaspoon at a time, until it does.
• Using a pastry bag fitted with a plain 1/2-inch round tip, pipe ten 2 1/2-inch rounds of batter onto parchment-lined baking sheets. Brush with egg wash, and sprinkle with sanding sugar. Bake for 15 minutes. Reduce temperature to 350 degrees, and bake until puffed and golden and centers are dry, about 35 minutes more. Let cool on a wire rack.
• Make the blueberry sauce: Bring 1 cup blueberries, the water, granulated sugar, lemon zest, and salt to a boil in a small saucepan. Reduce heat, and simmer until most of the berries have burst, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Add remaining cup blueberries, and crush lightly.
• Make the lemon mousse: Lightly whisk lemon curd, and fold in whipped cream using a rubber spatula. Halve each cream puff, and fill bottoms with lemon-mousse. Spoon on blueberry sauce, replace tops, and serve.
