Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour

- 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

- Zest of 1 lemon
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen (do not thaw)

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- Cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the egg, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice to the butter and sugar mixture and beat until well combined.
- Mix in the softened cream cheese until the batter is smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined; do not overmix.
- Fold in the blueberries gently, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
- Drop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are still soft.
- Remove from the oven and cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Dust with powdered sugar if desired once cooled.
