Instructions
Preparation Steps
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Add in the eggs, vanilla extract, and lemon zest, mixing well until everything is well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix this step to keep the cookies tender.
Gently fold in the blueberries, taking care not to squish them. Each cookie should have a few berries in it!
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for about 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
These cookies are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for a few days!
