2.5 cups All-purpose flour The foundation of your cookies, providing structure and a soft texture.
1 teaspoon Baking soda This leavening agent helps the cookies rise and achieve a light texture.
0.5 teaspoon Salt Enhances the flavors and balances the sweetness of the cookies.

1 cup Unsalted butter (softened) Adds richness and a creamy texture to the cookies.
1 cup Granulated sugar Provides sweetness and helps create the perfect cookie texture.
0.5 cup Brown sugar Contributes a deeper flavor and moisture to the cookies.
2 large Eggs Acts as a binding agent, helping to hold the cookie dough together.
2 tablespoons Lemon zest Freshly grated lemon peel adds a bright, citrusy flavor that elevates the cookies.
1 tablespoon Lemon juice Enhances the lemon flavor and adds a touch of acidity, making the cookies more refreshing.
1.5 cups Fresh blueberries Bursting with flavor, these berries provide natural sweetness and juiciness.
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract Adds depth and warmth to the overall flavor profile of the cookies.

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined.
Gently fold in the fresh blueberries using a spatula.
Drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers appear set.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.

Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. You can also freeze them for longer storage.
