    Lemon and Blueberries are a match made in heaven with these Lemon Blueberry Cookies topped with a Lemon Glaze Icing. Sweet, tangy and delicious in every bite made with fresh blueberries. I know you will go back for more.

    Lemon Blueberry Cookies
    Welcome to #LemonWeek 2022 hosted by Lynn from Fresh April Flours and Rebecca from Devour Dinner.  This week is sponsored by Rodelle and La Tourangelle. I may have received product samples from these sponsors to help in the creation of my recipes. All opinions are my own. Come join me and my fellow Lemon Week bloggers as we bring you recipes from appetizers to drinks to entrées and desserts!

    A sweet sugar cookie recipe with a lemon twist makes this recipe truly a recipe to keep for generations to come. I'm going to show you exactly how I make this fun cookie recipe step by step. With added lemon zest your lips will lick your fingers clean and go back for more.

    I've always loved blueberries but the marriage between Lemon and Blueberries is as good as Peanut Butter and Jelly! So let's dive in and get making some Lemon Zest cookies!

    Lemon Blueberry Cookies

    Ingredients Needed

    Dry Ingredients. All Purpose flour, Granulated Sugar, Powdered Sugar, Cream of Tartar, Baking Soda

    Wet Ingredients. Egg, Vegetable Oil, Vanilla Extract, Lemon Juice

    Butter, Lemon Zest

    Fruit. Fresh Blueberries

    Additional Supplies

    • Large Mixing Bowl
    • Cookie Scoop
    • Measuring Cups
    • Measuring Spoons
    • Hand Mixer
    • Baking Sheet
    • Cooling Rack
    • Parchment Paper

    Measuring Ingredients

    I always recommend measuring dry ingredients by weighing them. This is the most accurate way when it comes to measuring ingredients. Using a quality kitchen scale makes all the difference in my kitchen and I hope you will invest in one too.

    I love knowing my cookies will always turn out perfect because my ingredients are a perfect weight every time.

    How to make Blueberry Lemonade Cookies Recipe

    In a large mixing bowl cream softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy scraping sides of the bowl as needed. Add egg and powdered sugar and continue mixing. Gradually add vegetable oil a little at a time making sure it's fully combined before adding more.

    Using a separate bowl combine dry ingredients of All Purpose Flour, Baking Soda, and Cream of Tartar and stir to combine.

    Add about ½ of the dry ingredients making sure they fully combine with butter mixture. Then add freshly squeezed lemon juice, lemon zest and vanilla extract to cookie dough.

    Add remaining dry ingredients until combined. Dough will soft. Hand stir in fresh blueberries.

    Fresh Blueberries in cookie dough

    Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop cookie dough and place on parchment lined baking sheet. Bake in a preheat oven to 350 degree for 7-9 minutes until edges are just barely golden and centers are set. There is no need to chill the dough

    Blueberry Lemon Cookies on baking sheet

    Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for a minute or two before removing cookies to a rack to cool completely.

    To make a Lemon glaze, combine powdered sugar with butter and add lemon juice and zest. Glaze should be thin and easily drizzle on cooled cookies.

    Frosting Lemon Blueberry Cookies

    Lemons

    Fresh Lemon Juice is always best and will produce delicious lemon flavor. Bottled Lemon Juice can be used in this recipe if needed.

    Rodelle Extract

    In this recipe I used Rodelle Vanilla Extract and I truly loved the rich flavor Rodelle Extract added to one of my favorite cookie recipes.

    I'm excited to try it in future recipes as I found this extract to be excellent quality.

    LaTourangelle

    I have to say that I was very excited that Latourangelle is a sponsors for Lemon Week. I've used their sprays before and have loved them. In this recipe I sprayed the cookie sheet with Latourangelle Baking Spray. A light coating is all you need for these blue berry cookies to slide off the baking sheet.

    Expert Tips

      These cookies were amazing! But, they were almost too soft. The longer they sat, the worse it got. Any suggestions? (This didn’t stop me from using a fork 🤣)

        Hi Alyssa, I'm so glad you loved these cookies, they really are so good! My suggestion is to maybe bake an extra minute next time. I have always been able to pick these up and enjoy with my hands. So it sounds to me like the cookie needed just a tiny bit longer baking. Regardless, with the icing, they are a soft cookie.
