      \ud83c\udf6a How to Make Lemon Blueberry Cookies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Step 1: Prepare the Dough<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt<\/strong>. Set aside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      In a large mixing bowl, beat butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar<\/strong> until light and fluffy. Add the egg, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice<\/strong> and mix until smooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Step 2: Fold in the Blueberries<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Gently fold in the blueberries<\/strong> to avoid breaking them. If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them first to prevent excess moisture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Step 3: Chill the Dough<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes<\/strong> to help prevent spreading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Step 4: Bake<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C)<\/strong>. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Scoop tablespoon-sized dough balls onto the baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart<\/strong>. Bake for 10-12 minutes<\/strong>, or until the edges are lightly golden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes<\/strong>, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Step 5: Drizzle with Lemon Glaze<\/strong> (Optional)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Whisk together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest<\/strong>. Drizzle over the cooled cookies for an extra sweet-tart kick!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n
