How to Make Almond Blueberry Cookies

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup softened butter and 1 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
4. Beat in 1 large egg until well combined.
5. Add 1/2 cup milk, 1 teaspoon almond extract, and 1 tablespoon lemon zest. Mix until just combined.
6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
7. Gently fold in 1 cup sliced almonds and 1 cup fresh blueberries.
8. Cover the bowl and chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (this helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much).
9. Roll rounded tablespoons of dough into balls.
10. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
11. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Baking time may vary depending on your oven.
12. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
