Instructions

Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
Mix in Eggs and Flavor: Add eggs one at a time, mixing well. Stir in vanilla, lemon zest, and blue food coloring until evenly blended.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
Make the Dough: Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until just combined—do not overmix.
Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries using a spatula. Keep them whole for the best texture.
Scoop the Dough: Drop tablespoon-sized scoops of dough onto the baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
Bake: Bake for 18–20 minutes or until edges are lightly golden and centers are just set.
Cool and Enjoy: Let cookies cool for 5 minutes on the tray, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use frozen blueberries straight from the freezer to avoid purple streaks in the dough. For extra flavor and texture, press a few blueberries or chocolate chips on top of each cookie before baking. Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
