Lemon Blueberry WCs

These cookies started off as lemon white chocolate chip, but after baking them the first time, it felt like it lacked both color and depth. I decided to kick it up and include some blueberries, and it turned out great! It gives you a similar taste to a blueberry muffin, but in a cookie form. I love how the blueberries slightly break in the oven and start to ooze out, giving it that beautiful purple color throughout the cookie. Try these bad boys out!
