Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar (packed)
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 cup Fresh blueberries
- 0.25 cup Powdered sugar (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice until well combined.
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, folding together until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, taking care not to crush them.
Use a small cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked but will set as they cool.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optionally, dust the cooled cookies with powdered sugar before serving for an extra touch of sweetness.
