Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Fruit

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, finely chopped plus ¼ cup for topping

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate large bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until combined.
  2. Add Strawberries: Fold the finely chopped strawberries gently into the butter mixture. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix just until incorporated to avoid overworking the dough.
  3. Shape the Cookies: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and place them onto the sheet about 2 inches apart. Slightly flatten each cookie dough ball and top with a small piece of strawberry for added fruitiness and visual appeal.
  4. Bake the Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers remain soft. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries for maximum flavor and moisture.
  • Chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking can help prevent spreading if desired.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • You can substitute half the granulated sugar with powdered sugar for a softer texture.
