¼ tsp salt
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1 tbsp lemon zest
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
½ tsp vanilla extract
½ cup fresh blueberries (or frozen, do not thaw)
2 tbsp cornstarch (optional, helps prevent blueberries from bleeding)
½ cup white chocolate chips (optional, for extra sweetness)

Instructions

1️⃣ Preheat & Prep:

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2️⃣ Mix Dry Ingredients:

In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

3️⃣ Cream Butter & Sugar:

In a separate bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the egg, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.

4️⃣ Combine & Add Blueberries:

Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Toss blueberries in cornstarch, then gently fold them into the dough. If using, mix in white chocolate chips.

5️⃣ Bake to Perfection:

Scoop tablespoon-sized dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are set and centers are soft.
Let cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

6️⃣ Serve & Enjoy:

Enjoy these cookies warm or at room temperature with a cup of tea or coffee!

Notes

✔️ For extra lemon flavor, drizzle with a simple lemon glaze (powdered sugar + lemon juice).
✔️ Use dried blueberries instead of fresh for a firmer texture.
✔️ Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for later!
