  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1 large egg white

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat 2 baking sheets with cooking spray.
  2. Whisk flour, cornstarch, baking powder and salt in a mixing bowl. Beat ½ cup sugar, butter and oil in another mixing bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy. Add egg white, lemon zest and vanilla; beat until smooth. Beat in lemon juice. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and fold in with a rubber spatula just until combined.
  3. Drop the dough by teaspoonfuls, 2 inches apart, onto the prepared baking sheets. Place the remaining ¼ cup sugar in a saucer. Coat the bottom of a wide-bottomed glass with cooking spray and dip it in the sugar. Flatten the dough with the glass into 2½-inch circles, dipping the glass in the sugar each time.
  4. Bake the cookies until they are just starting to brown around the edges, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a flat surface (not a rack) to crisp.

Have you ever tried using blueberries in cookies in place of chocolate chips? They make a fantastic summer dessert! Blueberries become very soft and juicy when baked into cookies. I served these at a recent get-together with friends and the entire plate of cookies was devoured within minutes. They’re truly a crowd pleaser! And the recipe is so easy to prepare.
