Description

Bursting with fresh blueberries and drizzled with sweet lemon glaze, these lemon glazed blueberry bites are an irresistible taste of summer.


Ingredients

Cookies

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp aluminum-free baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 Tbsp lemon zest
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries

Glaze

  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • pinch of salt
  • 2 tsp lemon zest
  • 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Beat butter, cream cheese, and lemon zest in a large mixer bowl at medium speed until smooth; add sugars and beat until creamy. Beat in egg and vanilla until combined. Reduce speed to low and gradually add flour mixture; beat just until incorporated. Gently fold in blueberries, cover dough, and chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Spray a medium cookie scoop with nonstick spray and scoop 1 1/2-inch balls of dough. Place two inches apart on prepared baking sheets and flatten mounds slightly.
  3. Bake cookies for 18 to 20 minutes, rotating pans halfway through, until edges are lightly golden and tops are set. Cool for 10 minutes on baking sheets, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  4. For the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, salt, lemon zest, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Drizzle glaze over cookies and let set before serving.

Notes

Baking powder: Use an aluminum-free baking powder to keep cookies from turning blue.

  1. So I was searching for a recipe that uses the ingredients I had on hand (lemon, blueberry, cream cheese and the basics) and I’m so happy I came across this one! My spouse and I just ate them slightly warm and they were to die for. I saved this one to the recipe folder and I can’t wait to make them again for more people once this pandemic is over. Thank you!






    1. Hi Caroline, yes that should work fine to make the dough the night before. Hope you enjoy! 🙂
