To kick off your Zesty Lemon Blueberry Bliss Cookies, the first step is to preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This temperature is perfect for baking cookies, allowing them to rise and develop that perfect texture. While your oven is heating up, it’s also essential to prepare your baking sheet. Line it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent your cookies from sticking. This not only makes for easier cleanup but also helps achieve even baking, as the cookies will not come into direct contact with the hot metal surface.

Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup rolled oats

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

3/4 cup brown sugar, packed

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 tsp vanilla extract

Zest of 1 lemon

2 tbsp fresh lemon juice

1 cup fresh blueberries (or 3/4 cup dried blueberries)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

      Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

        Add Wet Ingredients: Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice until well combined.

          Mix Dry and Wet Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.

            Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to break them (especially if using fresh).

              Scoop the Dough: Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop dollops of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.

                Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the cookies are lightly golden around the edges but still soft in the center. They will firm up as they cool.

                  Cool Down: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                    Serve and Enjoy: Enjoy these soft and chewy lemon blueberry cookies as a delightful treat with a cup of tea or coffee!
