Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped Make sure strawberries are ripe for best flavor.
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened Butter should be at room temperature.
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 pcs egg Can be substituted with flaxseed meal or egg replacer.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
Finishing Touch
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream For drizzling or dolloping on top.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
  3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until the mixture is well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually mix this dry mixture into the wet mixture using a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
  5. Gently fold in the chopped strawberries to ensure they are evenly distributed without breaking them too much.
Baking
  1. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving enough space between each cookie for spreading.
  2. Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
  3. Remove cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  4. Once cooled, drizzle or dollop some heavy cream on top of each cookie and dust with powdered sugar just before serving.

Notes

Store cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months. To enjoy, thaw at room temperature or microwave for 10-15 seconds.
