Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare 2 baking sheets by greasing or lining them.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the room temperature butter, 1 ¾ cups of sugar, and cream cheese for about 2 minutes until smooth and fluffy.
Add in the egg, vanilla, lemon extract, lemon juice, and lemon zest, then beat on high for an additional minute.
Gradually mix in salt, baking soda, and flour by hand until just combined. Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and blueberries, being careful not to mash the blueberries.
Place 5 tablespoons of sugar in a small bowl. Scoop about ¼ cup of the dough and roll the ball in the sugar. Freeze the dough balls for a minimum of 1 hour before baking to prevent spreading.
Bake for 13-16 minutes until the edges are just barely golden. Allow the cookies to sit on the cookie sheet for at least 10 minutes before moving them to a cooling rack.

Notes

Ensure the butter and cream cheese are at room temperature for easy mixing.
Freezing the dough balls is crucial for maintaining the cookie shape during baking.
Adjust the baking time if you make smaller cookies.
