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.
