Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened (226 grams)
- 1 cup granulated sugar (200 grams)
- 1 large egg (50 grams)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (5 milliliters)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (240 grams)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder (5 grams)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda (2 grams)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (1.5 grams)
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced (about 150 grams)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (60 grams) for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the diced strawberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set but still soft.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the cookies are completely cool, dust them lightly with powdered sugar for a beautiful finish.
- Arrange the cookies on a rustic wooden platter, adding a few whole strawberries for decoration. Enjoy!
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, use vegan butter instead of unsalted butter.
- To make it gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
- For a lower sugar option, you can use coconut sugar or a sugar substitute.
- Consider adding a teaspoon of lemon zest for an extra burst of flavor!
