Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened Make sure it’s at room temperature for easier mixing.
- 1 cup granulated sugar For sweetness and a lovely texture.
- 1 cup packed brown sugar Adds depth of flavor.
- 2 large eggs They help bind the ingredients together.
- 2 tsp vanilla extract For a hint of sweetness.
- 1 tbsp lemon zest Use fresh lemons for the best flavor.
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour Make sure to spoon and level to avoid packing.
- 1 tsp baking soda Helps the cookies rise.
- 0.5 tsp salt Balances the sweetness.
- 1.5 cups fresh blueberries Gently fold them in to prevent breaking.
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!
