Instructions

Make the Blueberry Pie Filling: Combine blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and cinnamon in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently until thickened, about 5-7 minutes. Cool to room temperature.
Prepare the Cookie Dough: Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt. Beat butter and sugar until fluffy. Add egg, vanilla, and lemon zest. Gradually mix in dry ingredients. Add milk if dough is too dry.
Assemble the Cookies: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheet with parchment. Scoop 1 tbsp dough, flatten, add 1 tsp filling, cover with another dough disk, seal edges. Roll in sugar. Place on sheet. Repeat.
Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden and filling bubbles out slightly.
Cool and Serve: Cool on baking sheet 5 minutes, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Other fruit fillings like raspberries, blackberries, or peaches work well.

Use gluten-free flour blend to make gluten-free version.

For mini cookies, use smaller scoops and bake 8-10 minutes.

Store at room temperature up to 3 days or freeze up to 2 months.

Reheat in oven at 300°F for 5-7 minutes for crispiness.

Chill sticky dough before shaping if needed.

Lemon zest and cinnamon are optional but add brightness and warmth.
