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 a 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!
