Homemade copycat Starbucks lemon blueberry cookies are delicious with a citrus flavor and dried blueberries that give this easy dessert a pop of sweet flavor.
Pour sugar and lemon zest into a bowl, mix with a whisk. Add soft butter, beat until fluffy. Then add the egg and vanilla bean paste. Beat for another minute until combined.
Mix the dry ingredients (flour, salt, baking powder) and then add to the bowl, mix gently with a spatula or mixer at low speed. Add blueberries and fold together. Cover the bowl with cling film and refrigerate for an hour. Preheat the oven to 350 F.
Use a cookie scoop to form small portions of the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place the tray in the oven and bake for 9-10 minutes until edges are lightly browned and middle is no longer wet.
Let the cookies cool on sheet, sprinkle with powdered sugar, if desired. Store preferably in a tightly closed container.
