Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, washed, hulled, and finely chopped
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened butter
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Strawberries: Wash, hull, and finely chop fresh strawberries. Pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps prevent soggy cookies.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy. This step creates the ideal texture and helps the cookies rise nicely.
  3. Mix in Egg and Vanilla: Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until fully combined, ensuring smooth and well-incorporated dough.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: Whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl to evenly distribute the leavening and seasoning.
  5. Fold Dry Ingredients and Strawberries Into Wet Mixture: Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet batter. Gently fold in the chopped strawberries, taking care not to overmix and crush the fruit.
  6. Scoop and Bake: Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them evenly. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for around 12 minutes, or until edges are golden and centers are set.
  7. Cool and Enjoy: Let your Strawberry Cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Enjoy warm or store for later!

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients to help the batter mix evenly and improve texture.
  • Drain strawberries well to prevent sogginess in the cookies.
  • Don’t overmix dough; gentle folding preserves the strawberries and keeps cookies tender.
  • Chill dough briefly before baking for even baking and less spreading.
  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and promote even baking.
