One of the most crucial steps in preparing your Frozen Blueberry Lemon Cookie Bites is to combine the mixtures without overmixing. Overmixing can lead to tough cookies, which is the last thing you want. To maintain a tender texture, gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. This ensures that the cookies remain soft and chewy, allowing the blueberries and lemon zest to shine through.

Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

Zest of 1 lemon

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

1/2 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Oven and Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Set aside.

      Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer until light and fluffy (around 2-3 minutes).

        Add Egg and Flavorings: Mix in the egg, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Continue to beat until well combined.

          Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

            Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries, taking care not to break them if they’re fresh. If using frozen blueberries, they can be added directly from the freezer.

              Scoop and Shape: Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

                Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden, and the centers of the cookies appear set.

                  Cool Down: Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                    Freeze the Bites: Once cooled, place the cookies in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze for 1-2 hours until solid.

                      Dust with Powdered Sugar: After freezing, dust the cookie bites with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness and presentation.

                        Store: Transfer the frozen cookie bites to an airtight container or zip-top bag and store in the freezer. They will keep well for up to two months.
