Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • ½ cup powdered sugar (optional, for glaze)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional, for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
  3. In a separate large bowl, cream the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Mix in the egg, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms.
  6. Gently fold in the blueberries, taking care not to crush them.
  7. Scoop portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  9. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. For the optional glaze, whisk together powdered sugar and lemon juice, then drizzle over the cooled cookies.

Notes

  • Use fresh blueberries for the best texture and appearance.
  • Frozen blueberries can be used directly from the freezer to reduce excess moisture.
  • Chill the dough for 20–30 minutes if it feels too soft or if cookies tend to spread.
  • Add white chocolate chips for extra sweetness and texture.
  • Increase the lemon zest slightly for a stronger citrus flavor.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
  • Freeze baked cookies for up to 3 months.
