Ingredients
For the Cookies:

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

3/4 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Zest of 1 lemon

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup fresh blueberries

For the White Chocolate Glaze:

1/2 cup white chocolate chips

2 tablespoons heavy cream

For Garnish:

Fresh blueberries

Lemon zest

Directions
1. Prepare the Cookie Dough:

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the egg, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice, mixing until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, being careful not to crush them.
2. Bake the Cookies:

Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
3. Prepare the White Chocolate Glaze:

In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and heavy cream.
Microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
4. Assemble and Serve:

Drizzle the white chocolate glaze over the cooled cookies.
Garnish with fresh blueberries and a sprinkle of lemon zest for a vibrant finish.
Allow the glaze to set before serving.
Enjoy these Blueberry Lemon Cookie Bars as a delightful treat for afternoon tea, parties, or simply as a sweet snack!
