Irresistible Lemon Blueberry Cookies are soft, chewy cookies infused with fresh lemon flavor and juicy blueberries. These cookies are light, zesty, and perfect for any time of year—especially spring and summer.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (do not thaw if frozen)
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the egg, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla until smooth.
  5. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients just until combined.
  6. Gently fold in the blueberries and white chocolate chips, if using.
  7. Scoop tablespoon-sized dough balls onto the baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 11–13 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden and centers are just set.
  9. Let cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use dried blueberries for a firmer texture and less moisture.
  • Chill dough for 30 minutes if you prefer thicker cookies.
  • Top cooled cookies with a lemon glaze for extra citrus punch.
  • Frozen blueberries work great—just don’t thaw them first.
  • Store at room temperature or freeze baked cookies for later.
