Ingredients
- 2¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1½ cups fresh blackberries, gently patted dry
- 1 cup white chocolate chips (optional)
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch (to coat berries)
For the Lemon Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 3–4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
- Prepare Your Workspace: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Blackberries: Gently toss the fresh blackberries with cornstarch in a small bowl to prevent bleeding.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and baking powder. Set aside.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter with both granulated and brown sugars for 3-4 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Beat in eggs one at a time, then mix in fresh lemon juice and lemon zest until smooth.
- Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing just until combined. Don’t overmix.
- Fold in Blackberries: Gently fold in the cornstarch-coated blackberries and white chocolate chips using a wooden spoon.
- Shape and Bake: Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are lightly golden.
- Cool and Glaze: Let cookies cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Once completely cool, drizzle with lemon glaze.
Notes
Storage Tips: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
Pro Tips: Use room temperature ingredients for best results. Fresh blackberries work better than frozen, but if using frozen, don’t thaw them first and add extra cornstarch.
Substitutions: For gluten-free option, substitute with almond flour blend. For dairy-free, use vegan butter.
