Lemon Blueberry Cookies with White Chocolate Glaze

Ingredients:

For the Cookies:

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Zest of 1 lemon
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup fresh blueberries

For the White Chocolate Glaze:

• 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream

For Garnish:

• Fresh blueberries
• Lemon zest

Directions:

1. Prepare the Cookie Dough:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice, mixing until fully combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a dough forms. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, being careful not to crush them.

2. Bake the Cookies:
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

3. Prepare the White Chocolate Glaze:
In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and heavy cream. Microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.

4. Assemble and Serve:
Drizzle the white chocolate glaze over the cooled cookies. Garnish with fresh blueberries and a sprinkle of lemon zest for a vibrant finish. Allow the glaze to set before serving.

Enjoy these Lemon Blueberry Cookies as a delightful treat for afternoon tea, parties, or simply as a sweet snack!
