Add the frozen blueberries and whit chocolate and fold to combine. Last, drop the blueberry preserves in big spoonfuls into the batter. Fold the batter once or twice to distribute it slightly, but no more–you want big ripples of jam so you don’t want it mixed in too much!

Use a 1 ½ ounce cookie scoop to scoop level portions of dough. Place on the prepared baking sheets, spacing the dough balls 2 inches apart.

Bake until the cookies have puffed up and are set and firm around the edges but still somewhat soft in the middle, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then use a metal spatula to transfer the cookies to a cooling rack to cool completely. If desired, top with more lemon zest!. Enjoy!
