Cookie Jar: Blueberry Lemon Cookies

 
These are ridiculous! I wish I had somewhere to take them right now!! The great thing is there are so many possibilities to add to the simple base recipe! They would also be super yummy with a cream cheese icing! Try your own creation and let me know how they turn out! I am already thinking of Strawberry / Basil or Dark Chocolate / Cherry!
 
Soft and Fluffy Cookie Base:
- 1 Cup Unsalted Butter, Softened
- 1 Cup Granulated Sugar
- 2 Eggs, Room Temperature
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
- 3 1/4 Cups Cake Flour
- (Whatever Mix-Ins You Like!)
 
For Bluberry - Lemon Cookies...
- 1 1/2 Cups Blueberries
- Zest of 1 Lemon
- Juice of 1 Lemon
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
- 2 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
- 1 Cup White Chocolate Chips
 
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time. If using extracts incorporate them now. If a seperate bowl, whisk dry indredients. With the mixer on a low speed (unless you want to make it snow indoors) slowly add the dry ingredients into the batter. Carefully fold in any mix-ins. Allow dough to cool 2-6 hours in the referigerator. Scoop 1 tbsp amounts of batter on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or foil. Bake 11-14 minutes or until bottoms are golden brown.
