Ingredients
Scale
- ¾ cup butter room temperature
- 4 ounces cream cheese room temperature
- 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar + 5 tablespoons for rolling cookie dough in
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 teaspoons lemon extract
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 3 cups flour measured correctly
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare two baking sheets by greasing or lining them.
- In a mixing bowl, beat together the butter, 1 ¾ cups of sugar, and cream cheese for about 2 minutes until smooth and fluffy.
- Add the egg, vanilla, lemon extract, lemon juice, and lemon zest and mix for 1 minute.
- Incorporate salt, baking soda, and flour by hand until just combined. Then gently fold in the chocolate chips and blueberries, taking care not to crush the blueberries.
- Pour 5 tablespoons of sugar into a small bowl. Scoop approximately ¼ cup of dough and roll it in the sugar. Freeze the dough balls for at least 1 hour to avoid flat cookies.
- Bake the cookies for 13 to 16 minutes until the edges are lightly golden. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for at least 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
Notes
For best results, measure flour accurately to avoid dense cookies.
If making smaller cookies, reduce the baking time accordingly.
Freezing the dough is crucial for maintaining the cookie shape.
