Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set this bowl aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add the egg, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice to the butter and sugar mixture. Beat until well combined.
  5. Gently mix in the softened cream cheese until the batter is smooth.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
  7. Carefully fold in the blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  8. Drop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.
  10. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.

Notes

For best results, use fresh ingredients and avoid overmixing the dough.
