Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 6 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 0.75 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.25 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 tsp fresh lemon zest about 1 large lemon
  • 1.5 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cup all-purpose flour spooned and leveled
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1.25 tsp baking powder
  • 0.25 tsp baking soda
  • 0.5 tsp fine salt
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries use frozen unthawed if fresh are not available
  • 0.75 cup confectioners' sugar for the lemon drizzle
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice for the lemon drizzle
  • 1 tsp milk optional, to thin the drizzle

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Beat butter and cream cheese until smooth and creamy, about 1–2 minutes.
  • Add granulated and brown sugars. Cream until light and fluffy.
  • Mix in lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla until combined.
  • Whisk flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.
  • Add dry ingredients to the wet mixture in two additions. Mix just until no dry streaks remain.
  • Fold in blueberries gently. Chill dough 15–20 minutes to firm slightly.
  • Scoop about 1½ tablespoons of dough per cookie onto sheets, spacing 2 inches apart.
  • Bake 10–12 minutes, until edges set and tops look matte. Cool 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack.
  • Whisk confectioners' sugar with lemon juice and a splash of milk to a drizzle. Spoon over cooled cookies and let set.

Notes

Variation: Fold in 1/2 cup white chocolate chips with the blueberries for a creamier vibe. Storage: Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerate up to 5 days; the drizzle sets best once fully cooled. Freeze baked, undecorated cookies up to 2 months, then thaw and glaze.
