Instructions

Begin by making streusel topping to allow butter to stay cold.

Combine flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt in medium bowl.

Cut cold butter into flour mixture until coarse crumbs form.

Add oats and turbinado sugar to streusel, mix gently, then refrigerate.

Preheat oven to 375°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

In large bowl, cream softened butter and granulated sugar until fluffy.

Beat in egg, sour cream, milk, vanilla extract, and lemon zest.

In separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Gradually mix dry ingredients into wet ingredients until just combined.

Toss blueberries with flour and lemon juice in small bowl.

Gently fold floured blueberries into cookie dough with rubber spatula.

Avoid overmixing to prevent bursting blueberries and purple dough streaks.

Scoop dough into 2-tablespoon portions onto prepared baking sheets.

Space cookies 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.

Sprinkle generous amount of streusel topping over each cookie portion.

Gently press streusel into dough surface to help it adhere.

Bake cookies for 12-14 minutes until edges are lightly golden.

Centers should appear set but still soft when removing from oven.

Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to wire rack.

Allow cookies to cool completely before applying vanilla glaze layer.

Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, vanilla, and salt for glaze.

Adjust glaze consistency with additional milk if too thick for drizzling.

Drizzle vanilla glaze over cooled cookies in decorative zigzag pattern.

Allow glaze to set for 15 minutes before serving or storing.

Store covered at room temperature for up to 4 days.
