Ingredients
  

For the Cookies
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour Sifted; substitute with gluten-free flour for a gluten-free option.

  • 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar Adjust quantity to taste.
  • 1 cup Fresh Strawberries Finely chopped; use ripe berries. Frozen can be used if thawed and drained.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream softened butter and granulated sugar together for 3-5 minutes until light and fluffy.
  3. Add vanilla extract and fold in chopped strawberries. Combine gently.
  4. Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually mix into wet ingredients, stirring just until combined.
  5. Scoop tablespoons of cookie dough onto prepared sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until golden around the edges; centers should remain soft.

  8. Serve fresh and enjoy with your loved ones!
