- 1 egg
Fruit:
- ½ cup fresh strawberries, pureed
Seasonings:
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Cream ¼ cup softened butter with ½ cup sugar until smooth and fluffy in a mixing bowl.
- Whisk 1 egg, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, and ½ cup strawberry puree into the butter mixture until fully incorporated.
- Sift 1 cup all-purpose flour, ¼ teaspoon baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt into the wet ingredients.
- Fold the dry ingredients gently into the strawberry batter until a soft dough forms.
- Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or nonstick spray.
- Scoop rounded tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
- Place the baking sheet in a preheated 350°F oven and bake for exactly 11 minutes, watching for light golden edges.
- Remove the sheet from the oven and let the cookies rest on the pan for 3 minutes.
- Transfer the cookies to a wire rack and allow them to cool completely before serving.
Notes
- Fresh strawberries create vibrant natural color and authentic fruit flavor in these soft, delightful cookies.
- Ensure strawberry puree is well-strained to prevent excess moisture from making cookies too wet.
- Room temperature butter blends more smoothly and creates a better cookie texture, so let butter sit out 30 minutes before mixing.
- For extra strawberry intensity, add a small amount of strawberry extract or finely chopped dried strawberries to the dough.
