Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease or line two baking sheets.
Cream 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, beating for 1 minute.
Mix in the salt, baking soda, and flour by hand until just combined.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips and blueberries, taking care not to mash them.
Place 5 tablespoons of sugar in a small bowl. Scoop about ¼ cup of dough and roll into a ball, coating it with sugar.
Freeze the dough balls for at least 1 hour before baking to maintain their shape.
Bake for 13-16 minutes until the edges are lightly golden.
Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for at least 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

Notes

For best results, ensure the dough is fully frozen before baking to prevent spreading.
Adjust baking time for smaller cookies to avoid overbaking.
