Why I like these cookies
Blueberries and lemon are known to complement each other in terms of flavor. Blueberries bring a natural sweetness and tanginess, while lemon adds a citrusy note. When combined in a cookie, the resulting flavor can be a delicious blend of sweet and tart, creating a unique and refreshing taste. The soft and chewy texture of this lemon blueberry cookie offers a delightful addition to the flavor.
Ingredients
This is basic recipe for easy cookies with minimal ingredients:
- All-purpose flour, baking soda, salt and granulated sugar
- Unsalted butter and an egg: bring these ingredients to room temperature before starting the recipe. Room temperature ingredients will combine easier while making the cookie dough.
- Lemon: this recipe uses the juice and zest from a medium-sized lemon.
- Blueberries: find the freshest and juiciest blueberries you can. Wash the blueberries and remove any stems before using.
Equal sized cookies
A cookie scoop is a handy tool that helps you measure out the dough in consistent portions. Alternatively, use a measuring spoon or ice cream scoop to measure equal amounts of dough. Don't be concerned if some of the blueberries burst while scooping or baking - this adds to the appeal of the cookie!
FAQs
Store the cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh. If storing multiple layers of cookies in the same container, place a sheet of wax paper between the layers to prevent them from sticking together. Leave at room temperature for up to 3 days. Alternatively, wrap the cookies in plastic and place in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Certainly! This recipe makes a refreshing and zesty lemon cookie without the blueberries.
Yes, frozen blueberries are fine to use in this recipe. Defrost the blueberries, drain the juices and place on a paper towel to absorb any excess juice.
I hope you enjoy this lemon blueberry cookies recipe as much as my friends and family do!
