Description
Soft, buttery cookies bursting with fresh blueberries and zesty lemon, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- Zest of 1 lemon
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for coating)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt in another bowl. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined—don’t overmix!
- Fold in the blueberries, lemon zest, and lemon juice, treating the blueberries with care so they don’t burst.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough and roll into balls. Roll each ball in the granulated sugar for a sweet coating.
- Place the cookie dough balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden, but the centers remain soft.
- Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Chill the dough for better shape retention while baking. These cookies also freeze well.
