BLUEBERRY CREAM CHEESE SCONES WITH YOGURT GLAZE

Steps:
- For the scones: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
- Add the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt and lemon zest to a food processor and pulse to combine. Add the butter and pulse until it's mostly pea-sized; a few larger chunks are okay. Dump the mixture into a large bowl and gently toss in the blueberries.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, yogurt, vanilla and almond extract. Pour into the dry ingredients and, using a rubber spatula, mix until about 80 percent of the dry mixture is incorporated. Dollop teaspoon-sized plops of cream cheese all over the mixture, then gently fold the mixture just until the remaining dry ingredients are incorporated. (You want the cream cheese to generally stay intact but it will of course swirl a little.) Using an ice cream scoop or large spoon, divide the dough into 8 balls and place them on the lined baking sheets about 2 inches apart (they will spread quite a bit). Bake until the tops are lightly browned and the bottoms are golden, 16 to 20 minutes.
- For the glaze: Meanwhile, whisk together the powdered sugar, yogurt and salt in a bowl.
- Let the scones cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool for 5 more minutes. While they're still a little warm, brush with the glaze, then sprinkle with the sanding sugar, if using. These are best enjoyed the day of.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease muffin tins, or line with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the lemon yogurt, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Combine the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg; stir into the lemon mixture until just blended. Spoon batter into the prepared tins.
- Bake for 15 to 18 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the top springs back when lightly touched. Allow the muffins to cool for about 15 minutes before removing them from the pan.
- Place the confectioners' sugar in a small bowl. Stir in the lemon juice 1/2 teaspoon at a time until the mixture is drizzling consistency. Drizzle over cooled muffins, and allow the icing to set before serving.

Tips:
- To ensure light and fluffy muffins, make sure not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in dense and tough muffins.
- For a richer flavor, use full-fat yogurt and cream cheese. You can also substitute Greek yogurt for regular yogurt for a thicker texture.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
- To prevent the muffins from sticking to the pan, grease the muffin cups or use paper liners.
- For a golden brown top, brush the tops of the muffins with melted butter or milk before baking.
- Muffins are best when served fresh, but they can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
