Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 50 grams light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon strawberry extract
- 200 grams all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon pink gel food coloring
- 120 grams white chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg, vanilla extract, and strawberry extract to the butter-sugar mixture, and beat 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 wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.
Add the pink gel food coloring to the dough and mix until you achieve a consistent pink hue.
Fold in the white chocolate chips using a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers remain slightly soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
