Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup strawberry crisps or freeze-dried strawberry pieces

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all the fresh strawberries, baking essentials, and additional crunch elements like freeze-dried strawberry pieces. Ensure the butter is softened to room temperature to allow smooth mixing.
  2. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, cream the softened butter with sugar until the texture is light and fluffy. Add vanilla extract and mix well to combine.
  3. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold this into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  4. Add Strawberries and Crunch: Fold in chopped fresh strawberries along with strawberry crisps or freeze-dried strawberry pieces, ensuring an even distribution of fruity crunch throughout the dough.
  5. Shape and Bake: Using a tablespoon, scoop balls of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them evenly. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 12 to 15 minutes until the cookie edges turn golden brown.
  6. Cool and Enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to finish cooling, allowing them to firm up while preserving their crunch.

Notes

  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries for natural sweetness and vibrant color.
  • Don’t overmix the dough to keep cookies tender and crunchy.
  • Freeze-dried strawberries add intense flavor and extra crunch without moisture.
  • Chill the dough for 30 minutes to reduce spreading and improve texture.
  • Use parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
