Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease or line 2 baking sheets.
In a bowl, beat together the butter, 1 ¾ cups of sugar, and cream cheese for 2 minutes until smooth and fluffy.
Add the egg, vanilla, lemon extract, lemon juice, and lemon zest, then mix for 1 minute.
By hand, mix in the salt, baking soda, and flour until just combined.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips and blueberries, avoiding mashing the blueberries.
Place 5 tablespoons of sugar in a small bowl. Scoop about ¼ cup of dough and roll it in the sugar.
Freeze the dough balls for at least 1 hour before baking.
Bake for 13-16 minutes until the cookie edges are slightly golden. Allow them to sit on the cookie sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

Notes

Ensure to freeze the dough to prevent the cookies from spreading too much during baking.
Feel free to adjust the amount of lemon zest depending on your flavor preference.
If making smaller cookies, decrease the baking time accordingly.
