Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour sifted for a lighter texture
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest from about 1 lemon
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries rinsed and dried

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer
  • Whisk
  • Spatula
  • Baking sheets
  • Parchment paper
  • Cookie scoop or spoon
  • Wire rack

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add the egg, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice, mixing until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the blueberries using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  6. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The cookies will be soft in the center but will firm up as they cool.
  8. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Chef's Tips:
• For best results, use fresh lemons for zest and juice to maximize flavor.
• Avoid overmixing the dough to keep cookies tender.
• Serve with a glass of milk or a cup of tea for a delightful pairing.
Food Safety:
• Ensure blueberries are fresh and washed to avoid contamination.
• Store cookies in an airtight container to prevent spoilage.
