Instructions
Baking Lemon Blueberry Cookies is a straightforward process that anyone can follow. Just adhere to these steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add Egg and Flavor: Mix in the egg, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and lemon zest until well combined.
5. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
6. Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, being careful not to break them.
7. Scoop the Dough: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
8. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
9. Cool: Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
10. Dust (Optional): If desired, dust the cooled cookies with powdered sugar for an elegant finish.
