Ingredients

Scale

1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
2 large eggs
Zest of 1 lemon
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 cup fresh blueberries

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture until just combined.
Gently fold in the fresh blueberries.
Drop tablespoon-sized scoops of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until edges are golden brown but centers remain soft.
Let cool on wire racks before serving.
