Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup butter room temp
- 1 large egg room temp
- zest of 2 large lemons approx. 2 tablespoons
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar for rolling
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy (about 5-8 minutes). Add the egg, lemon zest, and vanilla extract, beat until fully incorporated. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Gently fold in the blueberries using a spatula, being careful not to crush them.
- Scoop out dough (about 1 ½ tablespoons per cookie) and roll into balls.
- Roll each dough ball in the extra granulated sugar for a crisp, sugary coating.
- Place cookies 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Press down gently. (You can refrigerate for 30 minutes or longer if desired.)
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are just set.
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
