Ingredients
Scale
- ¾ cup butter room temperature
- 4 ounces cream cheese room temperature
- 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar + 5 tablespoons for rolling cookie dough in
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 teaspoons lemon extract
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 3 cups flour measured correctly
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease or line two baking sheets.
- Cream together butter, 1 ¾ cups of sugar, and cream cheese for 2 minutes until smooth and fluffy.
- Add egg, vanilla, lemon extract, lemon juice, and lemon zest, then beat for 1 minute.
- Mix in salt, baking soda, and flour by hand until just combined.
- Gently fold in white chocolate chips and blueberries, being careful not to mash the blueberries.
- In a small bowl, place 5 tablespoons of sugar. Scoop about ¼ cup of dough, roll the ball in sugar, and freeze it for at least 1 hour before baking.

Notes
For best results, ensure the butter and cream cheese are at room temperature before starting.
If making smaller cookies, adjust the baking time accordingly to prevent overbaking.
