Equipment

  • Bowl
  • Baking sheet

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar superfine or regular
  • 1 large egg lightly beaten
  • 2 cups plain all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 ¼ cups thick Greek-style yogurt
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • ½ cup pearl sugar Swedish style
  • 1 ¼ cups fresh wild blueberries
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh thyme optional, adds subtle herbal note

Instructions
 

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

  • First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that your cookies bake evenly and to perfection.

Step 2: Prepare the Baking Sheet

  • Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. This prevents sticking and makes cleanup a breeze.

Step 3: Mix the Dry Ingredients

  • In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk them together to ensure an even distribution of the leavening agents.

Step 4: Combine the Wet Ingredients

  • In another bowl, beat together the granulated sugar and egg until creamy. Add the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Mix until fully combined. You’ll find yourself drawn to the fresh citrus aroma—just stunning.

Step 5: Incorporate Dry into Wet

  • Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, folding gently with a spatula or wooden spoon. Avoid over-mixing to keep those cookies tender.

Step 6: Add Blueberries

  • Now comes the fun part! Fold in the blueberries gently, being careful not to mash them. Each blueberry should stay intact, ready to burst when bitten into.

Step 7: Scoop the Dough

  • Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, place dough blobs on the prepared baking sheet. Space them a couple of inches apart, as they will spread slightly.

Step 8: Sprinkle with Pearl Sugar

  • If you’re feeling a bit decadent, sprinkle a little pearl sugar on top of each mound of dough. This will add a delightful crunch.

Step 9: Bake

  • Throw the baking sheet into the preheated oven. Bake for about 12–15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. The centers will look slightly undercooked; that’s exactly what you want for that soft texture.

Step 10: Cool and Enjoy

  • Once baked, remove the cookies and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. They’ll firm up as they cool. Now, go ahead and enjoy those delicious cookies with your favorite drink!

Notes

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh blueberries make all the difference in flavor and texture.
  • Don’t Overbeat: Mix just until combined. Overworking the dough can lead to tougher cookies.
  • Chill the Dough: If you want thicker cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
  • Room Temperature Ingredients: Make sure your yogurt and egg are at room temperature for better mixing.
  • Experiment with Flavors: Consider adding nuts, spices like cinnamon, or even some chocolate chips for variety!
