# What You Need:

→ Cookie Dough

01 - 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
02 - 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
03 - 2 tablespoons freshly grated lemon zest (about 2 lemons)
04 - 1 large egg
05 - 1 large egg yolk
06 - 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
07 - 3 cups all-purpose flour
08 - 2 tablespoons cornstarch
09 - 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
10 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
11 - 1/2 teaspoon salt

→ Blueberry Lemon Frosting

12 - 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
13 - 4 cups powdered sugar
14 - 3 to 5 tablespoons whole milk, as needed for consistency
15 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
16 - 1/4 cup blueberry jam

# How to Make It:

01 - In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and lemon zest with an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, approximately 2 to 3 minutes.
02 - Add the whole egg, the egg yolk, and the freshly squeezed lemon juice to the butter mixture. Continue beating until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
04 - Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet mixture. Mix on low speed or by hand just until a cohesive soft dough forms, taking care not to overmix.
05 - Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to enhance flavor and texture.
06 - Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper. Portion the chilled dough into even scoops and arrange on the sheets, spacing apart. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Cool completely before frosting.
07 - In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with a mixer until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, beating on low until incorporated. Mix in vanilla extract and 3 tablespoons of milk. Add blueberry jam and beat until the frosting is creamy and fluffy. Adjust texture with additional milk if preferred.
08 - Once cookies are cooled, spread or pipe a generous amount of blueberry lemon frosting onto each cookie.

# Extra Tips:

01 - For best results, ensure all dairy ingredients are at room temperature before creaming for a smooth and fluffy texture.
