    How to Make Lemon Blueberry Cookies

     Soft Lemon & Blueberry Explosion Cookies

    1. In a bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt, set aside.
    2. In another bowl, using a mixer, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in lemon juice, milk, eggs, vanilla, almond milk and lemon zest optional and continue mixing until combined.
    3. Add ½ of the dry mixture to the wet mixture and mix. Add rest of the flour and mix together until combined.
    4. Fold in blueberries to distribute. 
    5. Using a medium size cookie scoop, drop scooped cookies out on parchment paper lined baking sheet and bake about 8-10 minutes @ 350 degrees, or until cookies do not sink or imprint when lightly touched on top. Do not over-bake. Cookies should not be brown.

    Lemon Icing Glaze

    1. In a shallow bowl, mix powdered sugar and lemon juice in a bowl. Add in milk and continue stirring until mixed well and it's a nice thick consistency, yet pourable.
    2. Dip cooled cookies in icing and allow to set on a cookie rack.
    3. After icing has set, seal cookies for keep soft.

    Soft Lemon & Blueberry Explosion Cookies

    How to Store Lemon Blueberry 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 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.

    Soft Lemon & Blueberry Explosion Cookies

    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!!

      The BEST cookies I’ve ever made

    3. Kim Lange says

      December 04, 2019 at 7:40 pm

      I just buy Wal-mart brand 30 calorie unsweetened almond milk. 🙂

    4. Mel says

      December 04, 2019 at 6:39 pm

      Which flavor of almond milk do you use?

    5. Kim Lange says

      September 28, 2019 at 11:46 pm

      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.

    6. Tonya says

      September 28, 2019 at 11:27 pm

      If I use almond flour, will it change the consistency or make cookies fall?

    7. Kim Lange says

      September 19, 2019 at 8:37 am

      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??

    9. Kim Lange says

      September 01, 2019 at 4:12 pm

      I hope everyone enjoys them Rachel! Thanks so much for making them and your lovely review. xo

    10. Rachel says

      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!

    11. Kim Lange says

      August 15, 2019 at 11:43 am

      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

    12. Susan says

      August 15, 2019 at 9:39 am

      Can you freeze them (before icing)?

    13. Kim Lange says

      June 28, 2019 at 7:39 pm

      Yes you can, lightly fold in. Enjoy!

    14. Esther Dixon says

      June 28, 2019 at 6:22 pm

      can you use frozen blueberries?

    15. Kim Lange says

      April 18, 2019 at 8:54 am

      Yes you can use frozen! 🙂 Enjoy!

      Can u use frozen blueberries?I don't have fresh

    17. Kim Lange says

      March 20, 2019 at 9:43 am

      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. 🙁

    18. Susan Mason says

      March 19, 2019 at 9:39 pm

      Is 4 tsp of baking powder correct as stated? I can taste the baking powder after baked. Thanks
