Mix together 4 teaspoons baking powder, 3 ¼ cups flour, and ½ teaspoon salt in a bowl and set aside.
Take another bowl and beat together 1 cup sugar and ½ cup butter by using a mixer until fluffy.
Add in remaining cookie ingredients except for blueberries and mix well until combined.
Add half of the flour-salt mixture into the wet mixture and mix well. Repeat the same with the remaining flour mixture.
Fold in 1 ½ to 2 cups fresh blueberries.
Start dropping out cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet by using a medium-size cookie scoop and bake at 350 F for about 8 to 10 minutes, or until cookies are done.

Mix together all the glaze ingredients until well combined.
Dip cookies one by one into an icing glaze and place them on a cookie rack until cooled.
Once the icing has set, seal the cookies to keep soft.

Add lemon zest to your cookies for an extra citrus note!
When combining the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients, be sure to start with half the flour mixture at first. Mix well, then add the remaining half of the mixture. This allows your cookie dough to combine well without developing too much gluten!
For a soft, chewy texture, bake your cookies for just the right amount of time following the recipe. Be careful not to overbake!
