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 (if using frozen, do not thaw)
  • 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.
  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. Mix until just combined.
  7. Carefully fold in the blueberries.
  8. Drop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie. Bake for 10-12 minutes.
  9. Remove from the oven and cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.
