Strawberry cookies are a delightful treat that combines the sweetness of strawberries with the crunchiness of cookies. These cookies are perfect for any occasion, whether it’s a festive gathering or a simple afternoon snack. The following recipe will guide you on how to create these delicious strawberry cookies.
Ingredients:
– 1 cup of fresh strawberries, pureed
– 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, softened
– 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
– 1/4 cup of brown sugar
– 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
– 1 egg
– 2 cups of all-purpose flour
– 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
– 1/4 teaspoon of salt
– 1/2 cup of white chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the vanilla extract and egg to the mixture, and beat well until combined.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing well after each addition.
6. Fold in the pureed strawberries until evenly incorporated into the dough. Be careful not to overmix.
7. If desired, gently stir in the white chocolate chips for an extra touch of sweetness.
8. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
9. Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers.
10. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The center may still be slightly soft, but it will firm up as the cookies cool.
11. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
