¾ cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Zest of 1 lemon

½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt

For the White Chocolate Glaze:

Instructions
- Prepare the Cookie Dough:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice, mixing until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
- Gently fold in the fresh blueberries.
- Bake the Cookies:
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Flatten each cookie slightly and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Prepare the White Chocolate Glaze:
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and heavy cream. Microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring until melted and smooth.
- Assemble and Serve:
- Drizzle the white chocolate glaze over the cooled cookies and garnish with fresh blueberries and lemon zest.
- Allow the glaze to set before serving.
Notes
For best results, use fresh blueberries. If using frozen, do not thaw them before adding to the dough.
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
