Cool 4th of July Dessert Idea: Red, White & Blueberry ”Shortcakes”

Here is a delicious dessert idea for your Fourth of July celebration.  I recommend buying or making soft sugar cookies so that you can cut them according to the Breyer’s recipe below.  Berries are in season and this dessert makes the most of them and an American Favorite, Ice Cream!  For more great recipes check out the Breyer’s Site>
