Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Cream Butter and Sugar:
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
Add Wet Ingredients:
Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until combined.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in Blueberries:
Gently fold in the fresh blueberries. If desired, add white chocolate chips for extra sweetness.
Shape the Cookies:
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake:
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may appear slightly soft, but they will firm up as the cookies cool.
Cool:
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
