Instructions

Prepare the blueberry reduction by boiling blueberries, lemon juice, zest, and sugar until thickened. Blend and strain for smoothness.
In a stand mixer, cream butter and powdered sugar. Add egg yolk, lemon juice, zest, salt, and mix well.
Gradually incorporate sifted flour until a dough forms; separate into four balls, coloring three with varying amounts of blueberry sauce.
Roll out each colored dough layer between parchment sheets and stack them using egg wash as glue.
Cut out cookies and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 7 minutes until lightly golden.
