  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ¼ cup cream cheese, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (if using frozen, do not thaw)

Method
 

Instructions
  1. 1️⃣ Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. 2️⃣ Mix the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. 3️⃣ Cream the butter and sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter, cream cheese, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, beating until smooth and well combined.
  4. 4️⃣ Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Gently fold in the blueberries (and the white chocolate chips and/or lemon zest if using), being careful not to crush the berries.
  5. 5️⃣ Scoop the dough: Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  6. 6️⃣ Bake: Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
