🍋💙🍋💙🍋 Lemon Blueberry Sugar Cookies 🍋💙🍋💙🍋

Ingredients:

• All-purpose flour: 2 1/4 cups (about 280 grams)
• Baking soda: 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 mL)
• Salt: 1/4 teaspoon (1.25 mL)
• Unsalted butter: 3/4 cup (170 grams), softened
• Granulated sugar: 1 cup (200 grams)
• Egg: 1 large
• Vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon (5 mL)
• Lemon zest: from 1 lemon
• Fresh lemon juice: 2 tablespoons (30 mL)
• Fresh blueberries: 1 cup (about 150 grams)

Instructions

Prepare the cookie dough:

• In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Gently fold in the blueberries.

Chill the dough:

• Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up and to prevent the cookies from spreading too much during baking.

Preheat the oven and prepare baking sheets:

• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

Form the cookies:

• Scoop rounded tablespoons of the chilled dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Bake the cookies:

• Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are light golden and the centers are set.
• Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Serve and enjoy:

• Enjoy these cookies fresh for the best taste and texture.
