Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Zest of 1 lemon (about 1 tablespoon)

Add-ins

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 3/4 cup white chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather all ingredients. Zest the lemon carefully, avoiding the bitter pith. Rinse fresh blueberries gently and pat dry to prevent excess moisture in the dough.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt for even distribution of the rising agent and seasoning.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter with granulated and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This creates the soft, chewy texture desired.
  4. Add Wet Ingredients: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined. Then incorporate the fresh lemon zest to add brightness to every bite.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually fold the dry flour mixture into the creamed butter and sugar mixture, stirring gently just until incorporated to avoid tough cookies.
  6. Fold in Blueberries and White Chocolate: Carefully fold in fresh blueberries and white chocolate chips, ensuring even distribution without crushing the berries.
  7. Shape and Bake: Drop rounded tablespoon-sized dough balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are lightly golden but centers remain soft.
  8. Cool and Enjoy: Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely, allowing flavors to settle perfectly.

Notes

  • Use fresh blueberries as frozen ones can add excess moisture, affecting texture.
  • Do not overmix the dough to maintain tender cookies.
  • Use a microplane for fine lemon zest to avoid bitterness.
  • Chill dough for 30 minutes for thicker cookies if desired.
  • Watch baking time closely; slightly underbake for soft centers and better shelf life.
