Lemons and blueberries are totally a match made in foodie heaven.
Those 2 distinct flavors play off each other so beautifully; it's really no wonder why these delightful flavors are so tantalizing and teasing to our taste-buds.
These Soft Lemon & Blueberry Explosion Cookies are actually THE bomb!!
Not even kidding...
When you taste these, it's like a lemon and blueberry explosion bomb went off in your mouth!
Between the juicy blueberries and the tangy lemon glaze in these so soft, thick bakery sugar cookies...OMG!
The balance of sweet and tart fruit flavors bursting...gahhhhhhh! I can't even explain it, but these were so unbelievably yummy, AND they sure didn't stay around long here at the homestead.
And when I said above, "when you taste these"... Sorry, it won't be just one. It will be 'these'. (I'm just letting you know ahead of time.)
These are the perfect summer cookies to serve for any occasion, holiday, bbq, the list goes on, ya know?
I made these Super Soft Lemon Glazed Sugar Cookies a few weeks ago and I fell in love with them, so why not try them with blueberries for a twist? Why not indeed!!

I'm so happy to hear that Nicole! Thank you so much for making them and letting me know!
The BEST cookies I’ve ever made
I just buy Wal-mart brand 30 calorie unsweetened almond milk. 🙂
Which flavor of almond milk do you use?
Tonya, I haven't tested it. Maybe decreasing the flour a little like 1/4 cup or so or try gluten-free flour 1 for 1. If you try it, let us know.
If I use almond flour, will it change the consistency or make cookies fall?
The recipe says 3 & 1/4 cups flour. I think you just missed it? Hope you try and enjoy! xo
How much flour?!? Did these ppl make them without flour??
I hope everyone enjoys them Rachel! Thanks so much for making them and your lovely review. xo
I made these this afternoon for an anniversary party for my grandparents, I didn’t have a medium cookie scoop so I accidentally made them a little too big so they took longer to bake but they’re still delicious. They’re perfect with a cup of tea. I can’t wait for my family to try them!
Yes, They freeze well and stay soft for a long time. Just open the container to air to defrost or the cookies will get gooey. Hope you enjoy Susan!! xo
Can you freeze them (before icing)?
Yes you can, lightly fold in. Enjoy!
can you use frozen blueberries?
Yes you can use frozen! 🙂 Enjoy!
Can u use frozen blueberries?I don't have fresh
Yes it is correct Susan. What's the expiration and it could be the type you are using? You could bump it down to 3 tsp for next time, but I have made these lots of times and not had that issue. 🙁
Is 4 tsp of baking powder correct as stated? I can taste the baking powder after baked. Thanks
They really are! We love them! Thank you so much Annie!
Oh my goodness!!! These are heavenly!
