📝 Preparation Steps
1
First, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a non-stick silicone spill mat or use parchment paper for easy clean up.
2
In a medium sized bowl mix together flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside.

3
In a large bowl or stand mixer cream together butter, brown sugar and granulated sugars for ~⏱️ 2 minutes until well creamed and smooth.
4
Next, add the vanilla extract, lemon extract, egg, egg yolk, and 1 tbsp lemon zest to the butter mixture. Mix until just combined.
vanilla extract1 teaspoonlemon extract1.5 teaspoonlemon zest (Use a cheese grater for this!)1 tablespoonAdditional lemon zest if desired (I desire!)
5
Slowly add in your flour mixture to the butter mixture. Mix it until it sticks together into one ball. This will take a bit, ~2-3 full minutes. Your dough will seem thick and dry compared to other cookie dough- this is good! The berries will add moisture.
6
Next, fold in the blueberries VERY gently- try not to smoosh them (this will add too much moisture). You really only need to fold it 2-3x. It’s okay if they’re not evenly distributed- when you form the cookies you can grab ~2 blueberries per cookie.
7
When you're ready to scoop your cookie dough here is the trick: grab a cookie scoop or a spoon and make sure that there are 1-2 berries in the dough for each cookie and make sure these are on TOP of the cookie dough. This means that when you’re scooping the cookies the berries go in FIRST so that when you remove the dough from the scoop they’re on the tops of the cookies. (Note: you want to avoid them being on the bottom- this can cause flimsy cookies! You want a nice solid base and the blueberries on top.
8
Bake your cookies for a total of ⏱️ 9 minutes. Allow to cool fully before frosting.
9
While cookies are cooling you can make the lemon glaze. To do this simply mix together the powdered sugar and 1 tbsp lemon juice. You want your glaze to be nice thick and white, yet still have some “drip” to it. You may need to add more powdered sugar to thicken if yours is too runny or is clear. Add lemon juice by the drops if it’s very thick.

Once cookies are cooled drizzle glaze over the tops of the cookies and follow with a sprinkling of additional grated lemon peel.
11
Allow the glaze to harden a bit (~10 or so minutes) and enjoy!
