Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, washed, hulled, and finely chopped
  • 3/4 cup (170g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups (310g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon lemon zest or white chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Wash, hull, and finely chop your strawberries. Set them aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups (310g) of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat 3/4 cup (170g) unsalted butter and 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Mix in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until fully combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until a dough forms. The dough should be soft but not sticky.
  6. Gently fold the chopped strawberries into the dough using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
  8. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  9. Use a cookie scoop to portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  10. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will remain soft.
  11. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.

Notes

[‘Chilling the dough keeps the cookies thick and prevents spreading.’, ‘Use ripe strawberries for the best flavor.’, ‘Pat strawberries dry to avoid excess moisture in the dough.’, ‘Adjust baking time for desired texture: longer for crispier cookies, shorter for softer cookies.’, ‘Test one cookie first to check spreading and adjust the dough if needed.’]
