Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare 2 baking sheets by greasing or lining them.
In a bowl, 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, then beat for 1 minute to combine.
By hand, mix in the salt, baking soda, and flour until just combined, then gently fold in the chocolate chips and blueberries, ensuring the blueberries remain intact.
In a small bowl, place 5 tablespoons of sugar. Scoop approximately ¼ cup of dough and roll it into a ball, then coat in sugar.
Freeze the dough balls for at least 1 hour to prevent the cookies from spreading too much while baking.
Bake for 13-16 minutes until the cookie edges are just barely golden, then let sit on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

Notes

Ensure butter and cream cheese are at room temperature for easier mixing.
Freezing the dough is crucial for maintaining cookie shape while baking.
For smaller cookies, adjust the baking time accordingly.
