Equipment

  • 1 Hand mixer (For fluffy batter)
  • 1 Cookie Scoop (Medium size)
  • 1 Baking Sheet (With parchment paper)

Ingredients

  • ½ cup Unsalted butter - softened
  • ¾ cup Granulated sugar
  • 1 large Egg - room temperature
  • 2 tablespoon Lemon curd - plus extra for topping
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon zest - freshly grated
  • 1 ¾ cups All-purpose flour - sifted
  • ½ teaspoon Baking soda
  • 1 cup Fresh blueberries - firm and washed

Instructions 

  • Beat the softened butter and sugar in a large bowl until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  • Whisk in the egg, lemon curd, and fresh zest until the batter is smooth and aromatic.
  • Sift the flour and baking soda into the mixture, folding gently until just combined.
  • Stir the blueberries into the dough by hand using a spatula to avoid crushing fruit.
  • Scoop the dough into mounds on a tray and chill for twenty minutes to prevent spreading.
  • Bake at 350°F for 12 minutes until the edges are firm and lightly golden.
  • Dollop a small amount of extra lemon curd onto each warm cookie for a professional finish.
  • Dust with powdered sugar once cooled for a sweet, snowy presentation.

Notes

Chill the dough balls for 20 minutes before baking to ensure they stay thick. Use fresh blueberries rather than frozen for the cleanest visual swirls.
