01 - 2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1 teaspoon baking powder
03 - 1/2 teaspoon salt

→ Wet Ingredients

04 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
05 - 3/4 cup granulated sugar

10 - 1 cup fresh blueberries
11 - 1 tablespoon lemon juice

12 - 1/2 cup powdered sugar

# How to Make It:

01 - Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside for later use.
02 - Beat softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy, approximately 2-3 minutes.
03 - Incorporate eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Blend in vanilla extract and lemon zest.
04 - Lightly mash half the blueberries with lemon juice in a small bowl, keeping some berries whole for texture.
05 - Stir the prepared blueberry mixture into the creamed butter mixture until evenly distributed.
06 - Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
07 - Gently fold in the remaining whole blueberries to distribute throughout the dough.
08 - Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 1 hour until firm enough to handle.
09 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
10 - Scoop approximately 1.5 tablespoons of dough and roll into balls. Coat each ball generously in powdered sugar.
11 - Place sugar-coated dough balls 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets to allow for spreading.
12 - Bake for 11-13 minutes until edges are set and tops display the characteristic crinkle pattern.
13 - Let cookies rest on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
