Ingredients
2 cups (240 g) all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (113 g) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
1/4 cup (50 g) brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon lemon juice (15 ml)
3/4 to 1 cup (110 to 150 g) blueberries (fresh or frozen)
1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar
1 to 2 tablespoons lemon juice (15 to 30 ml)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper
2. Cream butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes
3. Add egg, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice, then mix until smooth
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt
5. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until just combined
6. Gently fold in blueberries, being careful not to crush them
7. Scoop dough into 2 tablespoon portions and place on prepared baking sheet
8. Bake for 10 to 14 minutes, until edges are set and centers are soft
9. Allow cookies to cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely
10. Whisk powdered sugar with lemon juice until smooth to create the glaze
11. Drizzle or spread glaze over cooled cookies and let set before serving
Notes
Use fresh lemon zest for the best flavor
Do not overmix the dough to keep cookies tender
Chill dough for 15 to 20 minutes if it feels too soft
Use frozen blueberries straight from the freezer to reduce bleeding
Glaze only after cookies are fully cooled for a smooth finish
