Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (for glaze)
- 1/4 teaspoon lemon zest (for glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the blueberry filling: In a small saucepan, combine blueberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries burst and the mixture thickens, about 10 minutes. Let it cool.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Cream the butter and sugar: In a large bowl, beat the butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg, vanilla extract, and lemon zest, and beat until combined.
- Combine mixtures: Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Shape the cookies: Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each ball slightly with the palm of your hand.
- Add blueberry filling: Spoon a small amount of the blueberry mixture onto the center of each cookie.
- Bake: Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack.
- Prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest to make the glaze. Drizzle over the cooled cookies.
Notes
- Ensure your butter is softened for easier mixing and a smoother dough.
- If the blueberry mixture seems too runny, cook it a bit longer to thicken.
- Use a cookie scoop for evenly sized cookies.
