Lemon Blueberry Cookies

Lemon Blueberry Cookies are light and refreshing and scream Summer! They are a blend of fresh blueberries, lemon and creamy white chocolate chips.

I have stayed clear of making recipes with blueberries until this year. Blueberries haven’t been my favorite fruit  but my family loves blueberries. So I decided that I needed to branch out and I’m so glad I did!

Blueberries and lemons make the perfect combination. These cookies are so refreshing and you will be doing a happy dance once you taste them. These cookies are so moist and soft that they will melt in your mouth! Honestly, this cookie has made it to the top of my cookie list. That’s hard to do!

VARIATIONS

It’s always hard to make cookies exactly like the recipe or even the picture looks like, but that’s okay because that’s what is so fun about cooking, a few adjustments and it becomes your own creation. Here are a few ideas if you want to change up the cookie.

• We have suggested a size of cookie but you can make these smaller or larger. Just remember to adjust the cookie time.
• You can add different fruits to this to make it more of a jubilee. Just remember to keep the portions the same when adding more fruit.
• If this cookie is too tart for your liking, use less lemon juice and add a little milk to replace the lemon.
• My husband doesn’t love lemon zest. If you are like him, leave it out!
