Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup unsalted butter softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest optional
Instructions
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Make the Dough:
- In a large bowl, beat together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, beating until well combined. Gradually add the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
Add Blueberries:
- Gently fold the blueberries and lemon zest (if using) into the dough, being careful not to crush the berries.
Shape the Cookies:
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake:
