Ingredients
  

  • 300 g all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 300 g granulated sugar
  • 3 pieces zest of small or medium lemons (or 2 large lemons)
  • 226 g unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 large egg yolk, room temperature
  • 5 ml vanilla extract
  • 105 g fresh blueberries
  • 50 g granulated sugar for rolling (optional)

Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper
  • Medium Cookie Scoop

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Melt the butter and let it cool in the fridge for about 10 minutes.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the sugar and lemon zest until it resembles wet sand. Whisk in the cooled butter, then the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Combine the dry ingredients with the wet, then gently stir in the blueberries.
  6. Using a medium cookie scoop, form dough balls. Optionally roll them in sugar and place on the baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden. Cool on the sheet before transferring to a rack.

Notes

These cookies are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven, but can be stored in an airtight container for several days.
