Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Additional:
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (if frozen, do not thaw)
- Optional: 2 tablespoons coarse sugar for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until combined.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
- Add Blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to crush them.
- Bake: Scoop heaping tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired, and bake for 12–14 minutes until golden.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Frozen blueberries can cause the dough to stiffen—fold them in gently and bake right away.
- For extra lemon flavor, drizzle with a simple lemon glaze made from powdered sugar and lemon juice.
