Method
 

Preheat & Prep
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Cream Butter & Sugars
  1. In a large bowl, beat butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
Add Wet Ingredients

Combine Dry Ingredients
  1. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and lemon zest.
  2. Gradually add to wet ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms.
Fold in Blueberries
  1. Gently fold in blueberries and white chocolate chips using a spatula. If using frozen berries, do not thaw — this helps prevent streaking.
