Instructions
Prepare the Oven
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Mix the Dry Ingredients
- In a medium bowl, whisk together:
- flour
- baking powder
- baking soda
- salt
- Set aside.
Cream the Butter and Cream Cheese
- In a large bowl, beat together:
- softened butter
- cream cheese
- granulated sugar
- brown sugar
- Mix until light and fluffy.
Add Wet Ingredients
- Add:
- egg
- lemon zest
- lemon juice
vanilla extract
- Mix until smooth and fully combined.
Combine the Dough
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir gently until a soft dough forms.
Fold in Blueberries
- Carefully fold the blueberries and white chocolate chips into the dough.
Scoop the Cookies
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing cookies about 2 inches apart.
Bake
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers remain soft.
Cool the Cookies
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Notes
- Toss blueberries lightly in flour before adding to the dough to prevent them from sinking.
- Use fresh lemon zest for the best citrus flavor.
- Slightly underbake cookies for a softer, bakery-style texture.
- Frozen blueberries can be used directly from the freezer.
