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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
