Blueberry Sugar Cookie Dough
- 2 sticks salted butter ((if not using salted butter, add 1/2 tsp salt to flour mixture))
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 cups flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup freeze-dried blueberries (blended into a powder)
Whipped Lemon Icing
- 1 stick butter
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp lemon zest
- 1–3 tbsp milk
- 1 tbsp lemon curd
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a medium bowl, measure your dry ingredients, flour, baking powder, salt, dried blueberry powder and set aside. (To make blueberry powder, pure dried blueberries in a food process or high powdered blender until you have reached a powdered consistency. )
- In a stand mixer add butter and sugars and cream on medium speed until butter is nice and fluffy. Add in eggs and vanilla and mix to incorporate.
- Next, gradually add in your flour mixture with the blueberry powder and mix until a dough forms. Scrape the sides to get any excess you missed and mix one last time to incorporate.
- Line a cookie sheet with silpat liner or a piece of parchment paper. Using a large cookie scoop, scoop a large amount of dough, roll in your hands to form a ball and place on the cookie sheet. Once you have all your cookie dough balls formed, press to flatten on the cookie sheet.
- Place the cookies in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes. You will know the cookies are done when you touch the top and they do not feel very dough-y.
- Remove the sugar cookies from the oven and allow to cool on the counter for 10 minutes. Transfer the cookies to the fridge or freezer to cool for about 10 more minutes. You want your sugar cookies to be cooled before your spread the icing to avoid a melty mess!
- While your cookies are cooling, make your frosting – cream butter and powdered sugar in a bowl. Mix in vanilla, lemon zest, 1 tablespoon of milk and lemon curd. If consistancy is too thick, add milk in one tablespoon at a time until it reaches a nice thick, whipped consistency
- Remove your chilled cookies from the oven and spread a thick even layer over the top of the cookies. Top with some fresh blueberries and lemon zest and enjoy!!
