Instructions

  1. Microwave the frozen blueberry for 2-3 minutes in the microwave and cool completely.
  2. In a bowl mix together all the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together softened butter, and sugars for about 4-5 minutes, until light and fluffy
  4. Add the egg and vanilla to the mixture and mix for another 1-2 minutes. The batter should be pale-colored and fluffy at this point.
  5. Add in the dry ingredients and until all the dry mixture is combined with the wet ingredients. Don’t overmix.
  6. Divide the batter into 2 parts.
  7. In one part add in the lemon zest and lemon juice. Divide the batter into 10-12 smaller sections.
  8. In the other part mix in the cooled blueberries until fully incorporated. Divide the batter into 10-12 smaller sections.
  9. Roll together one part blueberry cookie dough with one part lemon cookie dough the palms of your hands.
  10. Toss the dough balls in a bowl of sugar until dough ball is coated.
  11. Place mixture in the fridge for at least 20 minutes, or longer hours (ideally overnight if you can wait that long).
  12. Pre-heat oven to 350ºF degrees.
  13. On a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper place cookie dough balls at least 1.5 inches apart.
  14. Place cookie sheet in the oven and bake for 14-18 minutes. The sides should start to brown on the sides but the center will look soft.
  15. Once removed from the oven, tap the cookie sheet on the counter to get that rustic cookie look.
  16. Leave in the cookie sheet to cool for at least 20 minutes. The cookies will be too soft when they are fresh from the oven and will harden as they cool

  18. Enjoy!
