Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, cream cheese, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and lemon zest until well combined.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, taking care not to crush them.
Baking
  1. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them appropriately.
  2. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the edges are golden and the centers are set.
  3. Allow the cookies to cool briefly before transferring them to a wire rack.
  4. Dust with powdered sugar before serving for that extra touch of sweetness.

Notes

Consider swapping refined sugar for alternatives like coconut sugar. To reheat, place cookies in a preheated oven at 300°F for about 5-7 minutes.
