How to Make Lemon Blueberry Cookies

Soft Lemon & Blueberry Explosion Cookies

In a bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt, set aside.

Add ½ of the dry mixture to the wet mixture and mix. Add rest of the flour and mix together until combined.

Lemon Icing Glaze

How Important Is It to Chill Lemon Cookie Dough?

No worries! You don't have to chill this dough at all! Make 'em and bake 'em!

Can you Over Mix Cookie Dough?

If you over mix this cookie dough too much, you'll add excess air to the dough, causing it to rise and then fall flat. Just mix them until they are combined. That's it!

How to Store Soft Blueberry Lemon Cookies

Glazed cookies will stay fresh covered at room temperature for 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Easy Lemon Cookie Baking Tips

When baking, make sure to not overbake your cookies. It's better to underbake just a tad, so they are fudgy and soft. Overbaking will dry them out even by a few minutes.
Let cookies sit on baking sheet after taking them out of the oven for a few minutes, so they set up and don't break or tear apart when you transfer them to a wire baking rack.
Once cookies are baked and cooled, you can glaze them and let them set up before storing them in an airtight container. You want the glaze to set so the cookies don't stick together.

These are the perfect summer cookies to serve for any occasion, holiday, BBQs, parties....the list goes on, ya know? Lemon and blueberry lovers unite! Enjoy!!
