Servings: 35 cookies
Calories: 144kcal
Ingredients
- ½ cup (113.5 g) Butter unsalted room temperature
- 1 ½ cups (300 g) Sugar white
- 2 Eggs room temperature
- 8 ounce (226.8 g) Mascarpone
- ½ teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 3 Tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 Tablespoon Lemon zest
- 2 ½ cups (312.5 g) All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 ¼ cups (200 g) Blueberries dried sweetened
- ¼ cup (30 g) Powdered sugar Sprinkle on top
Instructions
- Weigh or measure the flour, salt, and baking powder into a bowl. Whisk to blend and set aside. In another bowl, weigh or measure the sugar and set aside.
- Zest and juice the lemons into separate containers and set aside. I can usually get about 3 tablespoons of juice from one lemon.
- Slice the butter into the mixer bowl. On medium speed, cream the butter until soft peaks form, usually 1-2 minutes. Add the sugar and mix for 3 minutes.
- Add one egg at a time, mixing thoroughly before adding the second egg. Stop the mixer and scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl. Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and mascarpone cheese. Mix for about 1 minute.
- Add the dried blueberries and mix for about 5 seconds. Turn off the mixer and remove the bowl from the stand. Using a sturdy spatula, fold in the flour mixture about ⅓ at a time until combined.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate the cookie dough for at least 2 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C or 180°C) and line 2 cookie sheet pans with parchment paper. Using a medium cookie scoop, place 12 scoops of chilled dough onto a prepared sheet pan. Bake for 12-14 minutes, until the cookies are just starting to brown around the bottom edges.
- Remove the pan from the oven and let the cookies rest on the sheet pan for 1 minute before transferring them to a wire cooling rack. Once cooled, sprinkle the tops with powdered sugar.
