Ingredients
- 250 grams all-purpose flour about 2 cups
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 200 grams granulated sugar about 1 cup, plus more for rolling
- Zest of 1 lemon about 1 tbsp
- 1 stick butter unsalted, softened or ½ cup
- ½ tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
- 6 ounces fresh blueberries divided
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk all-purpose flour, sea salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer cream together sugar, butter and lemon zest for about 2 minutes.
- Mix vanilla and Greek yogurt to the batter just until combined.
- Add dry and mix again until combined.
- Fold in blueberries 6 ounces of blueberries, then scoop out 15 equally sized balls of dough (about 3 tablespoons). You will want to place them about 1 ½ inches apart as they will spread.
- Optionally, roll balls in about ¼ cup of granulated sugar, then lightly add the remaining blueberries to the top.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until they start to get a golden-brown color along the edges of the cookies (note: if you like your cookies a bit stiffer bake for another 1-2 minutes).
- Cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes then carefully transfer to a wire rack to fully cool.
Notes
- Store these blueberry cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- Gently fold the blueberries into the cookie dough to ensure that they don’t break apart.
- Fresh blueberries are preferred over frozen ones due to the excess moisture. If you do use frozen, thaw and drain them first.
