- 1 ⅓ cups (320g) frozen wild blueberries, divided (⅔ c & ⅔ c)
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- ⅔ cup (151g) vegan salted butter, room temperature
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons lemon zest
- 2 cups (320g) gluten-free flour 1:1 baking blend
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt

Instructions
Blueberry Lemon Cookies
- Thaw half of the frozen blueberries (⅔ cup) in the microwave. This should only take 30 seconds or so. Set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF and prepare two large cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer with the flat beater attachment or a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer, combine the sugar and lemon zest and mix on high for 1 minute.
- Add in the butter and thawed blueberries and cream together until light and fluffy. This should take approximately 2 minutes.
- Pour in the lemon juice and mix until fully combined.
- Add the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt and mix on low until a dough forms. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula when needed.
- With a spatula, combine the remaining frozen blueberries (⅔ cup), into the dough until just combined.
- Using a 1.5 tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop the cookie dough onto the prepared cookie sheets approximately 2 inches apart and bake for 13-15 minutes or until the edges are set and the center appears slightly underbaked.
- Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool for 10 minutes on the tray before removing to a rack to fully cool. Enjoy!
- Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days and frozen for up to 6 months.
