Equipment
Ingredients
- 2¼ cup all-purpose flour spooned and leveled
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup unsalted butter at room temperature
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup light brown sugar packed
- 1 large egg at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 cup dried blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a separate large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the butter and both sugars together until light and fluffy, about 1-2 minutes. Add the vanilla, egg, and lemon zest, mixing until combined.
- Gradually add in dry ingredients. Mix until everything is just combined. Use a rubber spatula to fold in the blueberries.
- Scoop dough onto the baking sheet with a cookie scoop (I used a medium cookie scoop, about 1.5 tbsp).
- Bake for 9-12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden brown but the middle is still underdone. Let them sit on the pan for about 5-8 minutes and then transfer to a wire cooling rack to let them cool completely.
Notes
- Get that cute bakery-style look by adding extra dried blueberries on top of each cookie dough ball before baking!
- To make these cookies even more bakery worthy, use a large biscuit cutter or round cookie cutter to scoot each cookie once it comes out of the oven. This is going to give you perfectly round cookies.
- Take your butter and egg out of the fridge an hour before you start baking, room-temperature ingredients will make all the difference when making these lemon blueberry cookies!
- Use a kitchen scale to measure out the flour, it is so easy to add too much flour which will give you dry cookies.
