Ingredients

3 eggs
2 cups sugar
¾ cup butter softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
2½ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup blueberries fresh berries that have been frozen work best

Glaze Ingredients

2 cups powdered sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice plus more as needed

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. With a mixer, beat the eggs with the sugar until slightly thickened and light in color, about 5-7 minutes. The mixture should almost double in size. The eggs work as your leavening agent in this recipe, so do not skip this step. This mixture should form a ribbon when you lift the beaters out of the bowl.
Add the soft butter and vanilla; mix two more minutes. Stir in the flour until just combined. Add the frozen blueberries and stir to mix throughout.
Use a 2 tablespoon scoop or a spoon to portion out the cookie dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place only six cookies on the baking sheet.
Bake for 16-18 minutes, until the cookies have puffed up and turned golden brown on the edges. Remove from the oven and cool on the baking sheet for at least 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling.
To glaze the cookies, stir together the powdered sugar and lemon juice. It should drizzle off the spoon in a thick white stream. Lightly drizzle the cookies and allow them to fully set before storing.
