Ever encounter a combination of flavors that leave you thinking – how have I not known about this all my life? This mixture of sweet Naturipe® Blueberries and the delicate citrus of the lemons come together to create a mouth-watering cookie that’s sure to delight all who take a bite.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 teaspoon table salt
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest (about 2 lemons)
  • ¼ cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon extract
  • ½ cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup frozen Naturipe® Blueberries
  • ¼ cup turbinado sugar for sprinkling

DIRECTIONS

  1. Melt butter in the microwave or on the stove. Let cool for 20 minutes.
  2. Preheat oven to 375°F, line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  3. In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, salt, and cornstarch. Set aside.
  4. Place the white sugar in a medium bowl with the lemon zest and rub the sugar and zest together with your fingers. This will give more lemon flavor to the cookies.
  5. Add the cooled melted butter and the brown sugar to the bowl with the sugar and zest. Whisk until well combined.
  6. Whisk in the egg, lemon juice and lemon extract.
  7. Fold in dry ingredients using a rubber spatula. Mix until just combined and a few white streaks of flour remain. Add in the frozen blueberries. Fold these in gently. They will color the dough slightly. Do not over mix.
  8. Scoop dough using a medium cookie scoop or ice cream scoop. Each cookie dough ball should weigh 70g (2.5 oz). Place on prepared cookie sheets at least two inches apart.
  9. Sprinkle cookies with turbinado sugar.
  10. Bake at 375°F for 16–20 minutes or until the edges of the cookies are set and are a light golden brown.
