Step-by-Step Instructions for Lemon Blueberry Cookies

Zest two lemons and combine with granulated and light brown sugar. Infuse for 1-2 minutes.
Cream room temperature unsalted butter with lemon sugars for 3 minutes until light and fluffy.
Add egg and vanilla extract, mix on low speed until smooth.
Whisk together flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt in a separate bowl.
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients and mix on low until just combined.
Fold in freeze-dried blueberries gently using a spatula.
Chill the dough covered in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Scoop dough into balls and roll in coarse sanding sugar before placing on the baking sheet.
Bake for 8-9 minutes until edges are golden and centers are puffy.
Cool cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to wire rack.
