Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cups Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Light brown sugar, packed
- 1 Large egg
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 large kiwis Fresh kiwi, peeled and finely diced
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for decoration)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
Gently fold the finely diced kiwi into the cookie dough using a rubber spatula. Be careful not to mash the fruit too much.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may still look slightly soft, which is fine.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
If desired, dust the cookies lightly with powdered sugar before serving.
