BBL Cookies

juicy blueberries, soft brown sugar, tart lemon

With BBLs costing 6,000-8,000 dollars, these cookies may be the closest we peasants may get to the real deal; but have no fear because a side effect of eating lots of cookies is the gradual development of a free BBL- or at least the second B in it.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened

• 1 cup white sugar

• 1 cup brown sugar

• 1 egg

• 1/4 cup lemon juice

• 1 tbsp lemon zest

• 3 cups all-purpose flour, plus two tablespoons for tossing blueberries

• 1/2 cup almond flour

• 1 tsp baking soda

• 1 tsp baking powder

• 1 tsp salt

• 1/2 tsp cardamom

• 2 cups blueberries For the streusel topping:

• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

• 1/4 cup brown sugar

• 3 tbsps unsalted butter, melted

• 1/2 tsp cardamom

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare a baking pan with parchment paper.

2. In a large bowl, cream the butter for one minute or until slightly fluffy, then add in the sugars and continue creaming for another minute.

3. Add the egg, lemon juice, and lemon zest, then beat until combined.

4. Fold in the dry ingredients with a spatula; the dough should be slightly sticky. In a medium bowl, toss the blueberries with 2 tbsps of flour until combined, and fold them into the cookie dough.

5. Prepare the brown sugar streusel by combining all streusel ingredients in a small bowl until the mixture turns to a crumbly cookie dough texture; add up to two tbsps more flour if the streusel is sticky.

6. Scoop dough onto a baking sheet in 2 tbsp increments, top each dough ball with streusel, and bake for 10-15 minutes or until edges are golden.

7. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack.

8. Enjoy!
