Description

Delight in these delightful Lemon Blueberry Cookies combining zesty lemon flavor with juicy fresh blueberries in a soft, chewy cookie. Perfect for a refreshing treat, these cookies are easy to make and bake to golden perfection.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • Zest of 1 lemon

Other

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt; set this mixture aside to combine flavors evenly.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In another bowl, beat the softened butter with granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, creating a creamy texture for the cookies.
  4. Add Wet Ingredients: Add the egg, fresh lemon juice, and lemon zest to the creamed butter and sugar; mix thoroughly until the batter becomes smooth and homogenous.
  5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined to avoid overmixing which can make cookies tough.
  6. Fold in Blueberries: Carefully fold the fresh blueberries into the dough, ensuring they are evenly distributed without crushing them.
  7. Portion Dough: Drop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing each cookie about two inches apart to allow room for spreading.
  8. Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until the edges turn golden brown but the centers still remain soft.
  9. Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to cool slightly on the baking sheets before transferring to a wire rack or serving to set their shape and enhance flavor.

Notes

  • Use fresh blueberries for best texture and flavor; frozen can be used but may alter dough consistency.
  • Ensure butter is softened, not melted, to get the right cookie texture.
  • Do not overmix the dough to keep cookies tender and soft.
  • Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • Optional: sprinkle extra lemon zest on top before baking for enhanced citrus aroma.
