Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams Unsalted Butter
- 150 grams Granulated Sugar
- 50 grams Light Brown Sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- 1 large Egg
- 220 grams All-Purpose Flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 120 grams Fresh Strawberries
- 50 grams White Chocolate Chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar using a hand or stand mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Add the vanilla extract and the egg to the creamed butter and sugar mixture, beating until fully combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Dice the fresh strawberries into small, evenly sized pieces and gently fold them into the dough. If using white chocolate chips, fold them in at this stage as well.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden, and the centers are set.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy! Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
