A refreshing treat recipe for Blueberry Lemon Frost Cookies, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen, thawed and drained)
- For the frosting:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the egg, vanilla extract, and lemon zest to the butter mixture, mixing until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Gently fold in the blueberries.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cookies are cooling, prepare the frosting by whisking together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth.
- Once the cookies are completely cooled, drizzle or spread the frosting over the tops.
Notes
- For a fun twist, try adding a teaspoon of poppy seeds to the dough for added texture.
- You can also substitute the blueberries with raspberries or chopped strawberries for a different flavor profile.
