Ingredients
- 2 3/4 cups All-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp Baking powder
- 1/2 tsp Baking soda
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 cup Unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
- 1 1/4 cup White granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup Brown sugar (packed light brown sugar)
- Zest of 2 lemons
- 1 TBSP Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 Large egg (room temperature)
- 1 Egg yolk (room temperature)
- 3/4 cup Frozen wild blueberries
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and combined.
3. Add lemon zest and lemon juice to the sugar mixture and whisk until evenly distributed.
4. Add the egg and egg yolk to the mixture and beat until light, fluffy, and pale yellow.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined.
7. Gently fold in the frozen wild blueberries with a spatula, being careful not to crush them.
8. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart.
9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are lightly golden and centers are just set.
10. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheets for 5-10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Use frozen wild blueberries to prevent excess bleeding and moisture in the dough.
Do not overmix the dough once the flour is added to keep cookies soft and tender.
Cookies will continue to cook slightly after being removed from the oven, so avoid overbaking.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
