Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream butter and sugar: Beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add wet ingredients: Mix in the egg, vanilla, and lemon zest until smooth.
- Combine dry ingredients: Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to wet ingredients until dough forms.

- Serve: Enjoy warm or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Notes
For extra lemony flavor, drizzle a simple glaze made with powdered sugar and lemon juice over cooled cookies. Use fresh blueberries if possible, but frozen ones work fine if drained properly.
