Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup chocolate chips
- ½ cup chopped strawberries
Supporting Ingredients:
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- ½ cup powdered sugar for dusting
Finishing Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Warm your oven to precisely 350°F, preparing a clean baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Blend 1 cup softened butter with ½ cup powdered sugar until the mixture becomes creamy and pale.
- Pour in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and mix thoroughly until fully incorporated.
- Sift 2 cups all-purpose flour and ¼ teaspoon salt into the butter mixture, stirring gently until a soft dough forms.
- Carefully fold ½ cup chopped strawberries and ½ cup chocolate chips into the dough, distributing evenly.
- Roll small portions of dough between your palms, creating uniform 1-inch round balls.
- Arrange cookie balls 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheet.
- Slide the sheet into the preheated oven and bake exactly 14 minutes until edges turn delicate golden.
- Remove cookies and let them rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to stabilize.
- Transfer cookies to a wire rack and dust generously with ½ cup powdered sugar while still warm.
Notes
- Fresh strawberries work best when patted completely dry to prevent excess moisture in the cookies.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before shaping to help cookies maintain their round shape during baking.
- Use a fine-mesh sieve for an even, delicate dusting of powdered sugar that looks professional and tastes delightful.
- Replace chocolate chips with white chocolate for a lighter flavor that complements the strawberries beautifully.
