Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 Large egg
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup Fresh strawberries, finely chopped
- 2 drops Food coloring (optional, for a pink hue)
- 0.25 cup Powdered sugar (for garnish, optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set this mixture aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, mixing until fully incorporated.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Gently fold in the finely chopped fresh strawberries. If desired, add 1-2 drops of food coloring for a pink tint.
Step 7
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Avoid overbaking to ensure soft cookies.
Step 9
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.
Step 10
If desired, sift powdered sugar over the cooled cookies for a sweet garnish.
