These lemon blueberry cookies have the perfect amount of fresh lemon flavor, are lightly sweetened and are sprinkled with juicy blueberries.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup butter, softened
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ cup milk (of choice)
  • Zest and juice of 1 medium lemon (about 3 tablespoons total)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon coarse salt
  • ½ cup frozen blueberries (small wild blueberries are best)
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch

Instructions

  1. To the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the softened butter and sugar on medium speed until light in color.
  2. Reduce the mixer speed and add the egg, then the milk, then the lemon zest and juice, then the vanilla extract. Increase the speed again to medium and beat until fluffy and well-incorporated.
  3. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt until combined.
  4. Turn the mixer on low speed and slowly add the dry ingredients, mixing until just incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a spatula as needed.
  5. In the bowl used for the dry ingredients, stir together the blueberries and cornstarch until combined.
  6. Remove the mixing bowl from the stand mixer and use a spatula to carefully fold the coated blueberries into the cookie dough.
  7. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours (up to 24 hours).
  8. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a medium cookie scoop to scoop dough balls onto the parchment paper, about 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake the cookies for 9-11 minutes or until the edges are slightly set and the inside is still soft. Allow cookies to cool at least 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Substitution Tip: Use any flour for baking, such as whole wheat white, whole wheat pastry, all-purpose or gluten free all-purpose flour.
