Ingredients

  • ¾ cup (1 ½ sticks / 170 g) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (100 g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 tablespoons lemon zest, about 1 large lemon
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 ¼ cups (281 g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup (148 g) fresh blueberries

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • To the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and lemon zest. On medium speed, cream together for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the egg and vanilla. Mix until well combined, stopping to scrape the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  • Fold in the blueberries until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  • Using a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop, drop the dough onto the lined baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each.
  • Bake for 13-14 minutes, or until the cookie is set and the edges are slightly golden brown.
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
