Ingredients
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon lemon zest
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 cup fresh blueberries
1/4 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until just incorporated.
- Gently fold in the fresh blueberries.
- Drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.
Notes
If using frozen blueberries, add them frozen to avoid too much juice leaking into the dough.
Refrigerating the dough for 15-20 minutes before baking helps prevent excessive spreading.
Experiment with other berries, such as raspberries or strawberries, or add white chocolate for extra sweetness.
