Add the egg, vanilla, and ricotta and mix until well combined.

Add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture in 2 parts, mixing until smooth.

Fold in the blueberries.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Scoop 1 tablespoon of dough and roll into a ball.

Place the dough balls on the baking sheet about 2 inches apart from each other.

Bake in a preheated oven at 350F for 10-15 minutes or until the bottoms of the cookies are golden brown.

Remove to a wire rack and cool completely.

In a small bowl, stir together the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth.

Transfer the glaze to a zip top baggie or a piping bag, then clip off the tip.

Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cookies.

Let them stand until the glaze sets, about 30 minutes.
