Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup butter, softened Ensure it is at room temperature for easier blending.
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour Measure accurately to prevent dry cookies.
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries Can substitute with frozen blueberries if necessary.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, which typically takes about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Beat in the egg until well combined, then mix in the lemon juice and zest.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
  6. Carefully fold in the fresh blueberries.
  7. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between them.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or freeze for up to three months.
