Ingredients

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 tbsp cornstarch

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

3/4 cup granulated sugar

Zest of 2 lemons

3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled

1 large egg

1 large egg yolk

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

Granulated sugar for rolling (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Melt the butter and place it in the fridge to cool for about 10 minutes.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. In a large bowl, mix the sugar and lemon zest until it resembles wet sand.
  5. Whisk in the cooled melted butter, followed by the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract.
  6. Stir in the dry ingredients just until combined.
  7. Gently fold in the blueberries.
  8. Using a medium cookie scoop, portion the dough. Optionally roll in sugar.
  9. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart.
  10. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until edges are set and lightly golden.
  11. Cool on the baking sheet for 3–4 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use wild frozen blueberries for less spreading and smaller bursts of berry.
  • Swirl in blueberry jam for a marbled effect—avoid overmixing.
  • Top with a lemon glaze for extra tartness.
  • White chocolate chunks add a creamy contrast.
  • Roll in sugar for a classic sugar cookie finish.
