Lemon Blueberry Bliss Cookies

There’s something magical about a cookie that combines the tangy zest of lemon with the natural sweetness of blueberries. For me, these Lemon Blueberry Bliss Cookies are more than just a dessert—they’re a little piece of sunshine.

I first made these cookies on a rainy afternoon, determined to bring some brightness to an otherwise dreary day. Little did I know, they would become a fast favorite in our home.

These cookies are the perfect balance of sweet and tart, with a buttery base that practically melts in your mouth. The blueberries burst with juicy flavor in every bite, while the sugar crystals on top add a delightful crunch. My kids call them “happy cookies,” and every time I make them, the entire batch disappears in record time.

What I love most about this recipe is how easy it is to whip up, even with a busy schedule. Whether you’re baking for a family gathering or just treating yourself, these cookies will always impress.

And if you’re anything like me, you’ll want to keep a stash hidden away for late-night cravings. There’s something about the combination of flavors that’s so comforting and yet so unique, you’ll find yourself making these on repeat. Trust me, they’re worth every bite.

So, grab your apron and a little time—these cookies are a joy to make and even better to eat. Let’s dive in!

Questions I Often Get Asked About This Recipe

Can I use frozen blueberries?
Yes! Frozen blueberries work well, but be sure to pat them dry with a paper towel before adding them to the dough to prevent excess moisture.

Can I substitute lemon zest with lemon extract?
You can, but the zest provides a fresher, more natural flavor. If using extract, reduce the quantity to half a teaspoon.

Do I need to chill the dough?
Chilling isn’t necessary, but it helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much while baking.

Can I make these gluten-free?
Absolutely! Substitute the all-purpose flour with a good-quality gluten-free baking blend, and they’ll still be delicious.

How long do these cookies stay fresh?
Stored in an airtight container, they stay soft and flavorful for up to five days—if they last that long!

What You Need to Make Lemon Blueberry Bliss Cookies

Ingredients:

3/4 cup (170 g) unsalted butter, room temperature

3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Zest of 1 lemon

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 3/4 cups (220 g) all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

Coarse sugar for topping (optional)

Baking sheet

Parchment paper

Cooling rack

How to Make Lemon Blueberry Bliss Cookies

Preheat your oven: Set it to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Cream the butter and sugar: In a large bowl, use a mixer to combine the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Add wet ingredients: Mix in the egg, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice until fully incorporated.

Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined.

Fold in the blueberries: Gently stir in the blueberries, being careful not to crush them.

Scoop the dough: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Add a sprinkle of sugar: For an extra crunch, sprinkle coarse sugar on top of each cookie.

Bake: Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.

Tips for Making the Best Lemon Blueberry Bliss Cookies

Use fresh lemon zest: This adds a burst of natural citrus flavor that’s hard to replicate with extracts.

Don’t overmix the dough: Overmixing can lead to dense cookies. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.

Keep blueberries whole: This helps distribute the flavor evenly and prevents the dough from becoming too wet.

Adjust sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter cookie, you can increase the sugar by 2 tablespoons.

Make it your own: Try adding white chocolate chips or a dash of cinnamon for a unique twist.
