How to Make Lemon Blueberry Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large egg yolks and the zest of 1 lemon.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ¼ cup cornstarch, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Gently fold in 1 cup fresh blueberries.
  7. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide it in half.
  8. Knead each half briefly until the dough comes together.
  9. Roll each half of the dough into 16 balls (32 balls total).
  10. Place 16 balls onto the prepared baking sheet.
  11. Dip a glass into granulated sugar and gently press each ball to about ¼ inch thickness.
  12. Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
  13. Repeat with the remaining dough.
  14. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy! (Optional: Substitute dried cranberries or cherries for the blueberries.)
