📝 Ingredients

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  2. 2
    In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole wheat pastry flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  3. 3
    In a separate large bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, light olive oil, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth. Stir in the lemon zest.
  4. 4
    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the dough. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries until evenly distributed.
  5. 5
    Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  6. 6
    Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set. The cookies should still look a little soft in the middle.
  7. 7
    Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. 8
    While the cookies cool, prepare the glaze: whisk together the powdered sugar and fresh lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth and pourable.
  9. 9
    Once the cookies are completely cool, drizzle the lemon glaze over them. Allow the glaze to set for about 15-20 minutes before serving.

💡 Notes

For best results, use fresh lemons for both the zest and juice. Frozen blueberries can be used directly from the freezer; add 1-2 minutes to baking time if using frozen. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days or freeze for longer storage.
