Description
Soft, chewy cookies bursting with the natural flavor of fresh strawberries, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced into small chunks
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture. Beat until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies soft.
- Gently fold the strawberry chunks into the dough using a spatula. If the strawberries are very juicy, toss them in a bit of cornstarch first to prevent them from releasing too much liquid into the dough.
- Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look set.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
Notes
Chill the dough if it’s too soft to prevent spreading during baking. Toss strawberries in cornstarch to reduce excess moisture.
