1 cup white chocolate chips
1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup butter, softened

How to Make Cozy Blueberry Lemon White Chocolate Chip Cookies

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, cream together the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy.
Add in the sugar, egg, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined and fluffy.
Stir in the fresh lemon zest and lemon juice to incorporate that lovely citrus flavor.
In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
Fold in the blueberries and white chocolate chips, being careful not to burst the blueberries.
Drop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto a lined baking sheet, spacing them about an inch apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look set.
Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Fun Ways to Customize It

Swap the Berries: Replace blueberries with raspberries or strawberries for a different fruity experience.
Add Nuts: Toss in some coarsely chopped nuts for an extra crunch—walnuts or pecans would be delightful!
Zesty Twist: Enhance the lemon flavor by adding a tablespoon of lemon extract.
Chocolate Lovers: For an indulgent twist, add in some semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips for a rich contrast to the white chocolate.

Chef Emma’s Helpful Tips

Make Ahead: The dough can be made a day in advance and chilled in the refrigerator. Just scoop and bake when you’re ready!
Storage: Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. They stay delicious for about a week—if they last that long!
Freezing: To enjoy these cookies later, freeze the dough balls. Just bake them directly from the freezer, adding a minute or two to the baking time.
Cream Cheese Alternative: If you’re seeking a lower-fat option, try using Greek yogurt in place of cream cheese for a lighter texture.
