Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease or line 2 baking sheets.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and 1 ¾ cups of sugar with the cream cheese for 2 minutes until smooth and fluffy.
Add the egg, vanilla, lemon extract, lemon juice, and lemon zest, and beat for an additional minute.
By hand, mix in the salt, baking soda, and flour until just combined. Gently fold in the chocolate chips and blueberries, being careful not to mash the berries.
Place 5 tablespoons of sugar in a small bowl. Scoop about ¼ cup of dough and roll it in the sugar. Freeze the dough balls for at least 1 hour before baking to avoid flat cookies.
Bake the cookies for 13-16 minutes, or until the edges are just barely golden. Allow to sit on the cookie sheet for 10 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.

Notes

Using room temperature ingredients helps the dough come together more smoothly.
For best results, make sure to measure the flour correctly to avoid dry cookies.
Feel free to adjust the size of the cookies but keep an eye on the baking time if they are smaller.
