Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until just combined.
- Gently fold in the blueberries and lemon juice, taking care not to crush the berries.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the cookies are set.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Use fresh blueberries for best texture; frozen can be used but may bleed color.
- Add a light dusting of powdered sugar for extra sweetness before serving.
- Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
