  • 1 ¾ cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 2 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon corn starch

Cookie Dough

  • ½ cup unsalted butter at room temperature
  • ½ cup packed light brown sugar

  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract Nielsen-Massey Madagascar Bourbon

Instructions
 

Instructions

  • Make the blueberry mixture. Add the blueberries and sugar into a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat while stirring frequently and try to leave most of the berries intact. Continue stirring for 5-7 minutes until the mixture has reduced by about half. Stir in lemon juice. Take about 1 tablespoon of the blueberry juices and stir them into the corn starch in a little bowl to make a slurry then pour it into the saucepan. Stir it in and boil for 10 seconds then transfer to a clean bowl and let cool. Refrigerate until thoroughly chilled.
  • Make the cookie dough. Combine the soft butter, both sugars, lemon zest and vanilla extract in a large bowl and beat using an electric hand mixer or a stand mixer for 1-2 minutes on medium speed until it is pale and fluffy. Beat in the egg until well combined.
  • Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl and whisk to blend evenly. Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and mix gently on low speed or fold it in by hand until mostly incorporated, then fold in the white chocolate chunks until evenly distributed.
  • Swirl the dough. Divide the dough in half and place one half into another clean bowl. We are going to mix the blueberry mixture into the dough in two portions to minimize the amount of mixing that is required. Dollop a total of ¼ cup of the chilled blueberry mixture in small spoonfuls into each bowl and using a knife, cut it through the dough until it is barely distributed. The blueberry mixture will get more distributed as you scoop the dough.
  • Place the bowl with the dough in the fridge to chill while you preheat the oven. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line 2 large cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  • Use a 1 oz cookie scoop to scoop mounds of dough onto prepared baking sheets spacing them about 3 inches apart. Place extra white chocolate chunks on top if desired. If you prefer larger cookies, you can use a 1.5 oz cookie scoop.
  • Bake for 14-16 minutes until browned around the edges and on the bottoms, and lightly golden on top. Let them cool for a minute on the baking sheets and then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Notes

These cookies should be soft and chewy with a delightful blend of lemon and blueberry flavors.
