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.

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

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.

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.
