Ingredients
  

  • 188 g all-purpose flour (plain flour)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 130 g vegan butter (from a block, room temperature)
  • 200 g granulated sugar (use organic if in the US)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon zest (freshly grated)
  • 40 g Greek-style yogurt or skyr (or regular unsweetened soy or coconut yogurt)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
  • 110 g fresh blueberries (washed and dried)

Instructions
 

  • Prepare: Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line 2 baking trays or cookie sheets with parchment paper and set aside. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt, and set aside.
  • Add the sugar and lemon zest to a separate large mixing bowl and use your fingertips to rub the zest into the sugar.
  • Add the butter to the sugar mixture and use an electric whisk or stand mixer to whisk for 2-3 minutes until light and airy. Add the vegan yogurt, lemon juice, vanilla, and almond extract and whisk again until combined.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the bowl and use a spatula to bring the mixture together until about half-mixed. Halfway through mixing, while there are still visible lumps of flour, add in the blueberries. Continue to mix the ingredients until there are no visible clumps of flour.
  • Separate the dough into approx 60g balls (this will make 11 cookies) and place them on the baking sheets, leaving at least 2 inches between each cookie.
  • Bake the cookies for 10 minutes, then remove them from the oven and round off the edges using a large cookie cutter. Place them back in the oven to continue baking for another 2-4 minutes, until lightly golden. Allow the cookies to sit on the baking tray to cool for about 5 minutes.
  • Carefully slide the sheet of parchment paper with the cookies off of the tray and onto a cooling rack. Cool for another 15-20 minutes until they reach room temperature before serving.
  • Storage: While these cookies are great at room temperature for up to 3 days in an airtight container, they will last up to a week in the fridge as they contain fresh blueberries.
