Ingredients

Scale

Cookies

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, finely chopped
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until incorporated. Gently fold in the finely chopped fresh strawberries to distribute evenly throughout the dough.
  4. Shape Cookies: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
  5. Bake Cookies: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers appear set but soft.
  6. Cool: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Make sure the strawberries are finely chopped to avoid excess moisture which can make the dough too wet.
  • For a stronger strawberry flavor, consider using strawberry extract or freeze-dried strawberry powder in addition to fresh strawberries.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • These cookies can also be chilled for 30 minutes before baking to help maintain shape.
