Ingredients

Units Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Add-ins

  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light, fluffy, and well combined, which helps create a tender cookie texture.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice until the mixture is smooth and fully integrated, which will infuse the dough with vibrant lemon flavor.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agent and salt throughout the flour.
  5. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined to avoid overworking the dough, which could lead to tough cookies.
  6. Fold in White Chocolate Chips: Incorporate the white chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough to ensure bursts of sweetness in every bite.
  7. Add Blueberries Gently: Carefully fold in the blueberries without crushing them to maintain their shape and juicy texture within the cookies.
  8. Shape Dough: Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing each cookie about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.
  9. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies turn a light golden brown, indicating they are perfectly cooked.
  10. Cool Cookies: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes to firm up before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, which prevents breakage and enhances texture.

Notes

  • Use fresh or frozen blueberries; if using frozen, do not thaw to prevent excess moisture in the dough.
  • For a more intense lemon flavor, add an extra teaspoon of lemon zest.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days for best freshness.
  • To prevent cookies from spreading too much, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
  • White chocolate chips can be substituted with white chocolate chunks or other complementary mix-ins like macadamia nuts.
