• Beat butter in a mixing bowl using an electric mixer until creamy, about 1 minute. Add sugar and beat until blended. Add egg yolks one at a time, followed by blueberries, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and beat 1 minute more. Reduce the speed of the mixer to low and add flour mixture, mixing just until a smooth dough forms.
• Divide dough in 1/2 and shape into logs 1 1/2 inches in diameter and 10 inches long. Wrap logs in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours or up to 3 days. Dough can also be frozen at this point and thawed when ready to bake.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place an oven rack in the center position.
• Unwrap 1 dough log and slice into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Place rounds 1-inch apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until edges start to turn golden, 9 to 11 minutes. Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, 15 to 30 minutes. Dust with confectioners' sugar when cool. Repeat baking process with remaining cookie dough.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. In a medium-sized bowl mix together the flour(s), baking soda, (baking powder if making the cakey version) and salt. Set aside. In the bowl of a stand mixer beat both kids of sugar and butter until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the egg yolk (or eggs, if making cakey version), beat until very well combined, about 3 minutes. Add the lemon juice and sour cream, mix until well combined. Sprinkle the dry ingredients over the wet ingredients, stir until just combined. Gently stir in the blueberries. Using a cookie scoop, scoop golf ball sized mounds onto a cookie sheet that has been covered with parchment paper (if making cakey version, chill for 20 to 30 minutes prior to baking or they will spread too much. Chewy version does not need to be chilled). Bake at 350°F for 12 to 16 minutes or until the top just starts to turn a very light golden brown. Immediately slide the parchment onto the counter, allow the cookies to cool to room temperature.
