Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 12 cup (113 g) unsalted butter (room temperature)
- 1 cup (240 ml) fresh strawberries (pureed)
- 2 cups (240 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare baking sheets with parchment paper for optimal cookie performance.
- Transform fresh strawberries into a silky, vibrant puree using a blender or food processor.
- Whip unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and airy, creating a creamy foundation for the cookies.
- Incorporate eggs individually into the butter mixture, ensuring smooth integration and uniform texture.
- Infuse the dough with strawberry essence by adding the fruity puree and vanilla extract, blending until harmonious.
- Sift together flour and baking powder in a separate vessel to eliminate potential lumps and ensure even distribution.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently to maintain the dough’s delicate structure.
- Portion the cookie dough using a tablespoon, strategically placing dollops two inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Slide the trays into the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, watching for golden edges that signal perfect doneness.
- Transfer cookies to wire cooling racks, allowing them to rest and set completely before serving these delectable strawberry-kissed treats.
Notes
- Swap frozen strawberries if fresh ones aren’t available by thawing and draining excess liquid completely to maintain cookie texture.
- Use room temperature butter and eggs for smoother, more evenly mixed cookie dough that creates consistent baking results.
- Experiment with alternative flour options like gluten-free blends or almond flour for dietary accommodations without compromising the delicate strawberry flavor.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading and create more structured, rounded cookie shapes.
