Lemon Blueberry Cookies
Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar

- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and lemon zest until well combined.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
6. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, taking care not to crush them.
7. Using a tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
9. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips:
Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent spreading and enhance flavor.
Use fresh blueberries rather than frozen to avoid excess moisture in the cookie dough.
