Delightful cookies that combine the sweetness of strawberries with the comforting goodness of cookies. Soft, chewy, and bursting with flavor, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz. strawberries, hulled and cut into small pieces
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
- 2/3 cup heavy cream
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Coarse sugar, for sprinkling
Instructions
- Prepare the Strawberries: Chop the strawberries into small pieces and blot them to remove excess moisture. Freeze the strawberries.
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Make the Cookie Dough: In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar. Incorporate chilled butter until achieving a coarse crumb texture.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix heavy cream and vanilla extract, then stir into the flour mixture until a thick dough forms.
- Fold in Strawberries: Gently fold the chilled strawberries into the dough until evenly distributed.
- Shape the Cookies: Drop spoonfuls of dough onto prepared sheets, shape into balls, press down slightly, and top with extra strawberries and coarse sugar.
- Bake: Bake for about 16-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Cool the Cookies: Allow to cool on the baking pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Ensure that the butter is very cold for tender cookies. Blotting the strawberries is essential to prevent the dough from becoming too wet. Experiment with different fruits or add chocolate chips for a twist.
