Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Zest of 1 large lemon
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- For the Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2-3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the fresh blueberries until evenly distributed. Try not to crush them too much.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cookies cool, prepare the lemon glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and fresh lemon juice until smooth and pourable. Add more juice or sugar as needed to reach your desired consistency.
- Once the cookies are completely cool, drizzle them with the lemon glaze. Let the glaze set before serving.
