Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 4 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest finely grated
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries washed and thoroughly dried
  • 3/4 cup white chocolate chips

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer
  • Baking sheets
  • parchment paper
  • Cookie scoop
  • Wire cooling rack

Method
 

  1. Prepare the oven: Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and heat the oven to 350°F.
  2. Cream the butter mixture: Beat the softened butter, cream cheese, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy and slightly fluffy.
  3. Add the wet ingredients: Mix in the egg, vanilla, lemon zest, and lemon juice until evenly blended.
  4. Combine the dry ingredients: Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add to the wet mixture in two additions, mixing gently until just combined.
  5. Add the fillings: Fold in the white chocolate chips, followed by the blueberries. Handle the berries gently to prevent crushing.
  6. Shape and chill: Scoop two tablespoons of dough per cookie, arrange on the baking sheets, and chill for 30 minutes.
  7. Bake: Bake for 11 to 14 minutes, until the edges are set and the centers remain slightly soft.
  8. Cool: Leave the cookies on the baking sheet for 8 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Pat fresh blueberries completely dry before adding them to the dough.
  • Use frozen blueberries without thawing if fresh berries are unavailable.
  • Chill the shaped dough to prevent excessive spreading.
  • Store cooled cookies in a loosely covered container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
