Servings: 30 cookies
Calories: 123kcal
Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup unsalted butter softened (if using salted butter, skip adding additional salt)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- Zest of 2 lemons about 3 tablespoons total
- 2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries if using frozen, do not thaw
For the glaze (optional)
- 1 cup powdered sugar sifted
- 3 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- Zest of 1 lemon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, sugar, and the lemon zest until everything has been well creamed together, about 2 minutes. Next, using the whisk attachment beat in the egg, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until well combined and slightly fluffy.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the blueberries with a spatula, being gentle so they don’t get smashed and turn the dough purple.
- Using a 1-inch cookie scoop or spoon, drop a round ball of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, making sure to leave about 2 inches of space between each cookie. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may still look slightly soft.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes, before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Optional: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the completely cooled cookies.
- Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving.
