Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, puree the fresh strawberries until smooth. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract and the pureed strawberries.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until well combined. The dough may be slightly sticky.
Baking
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, scoop out dough balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space for spreading.
- Optionally, sprinkle crushed strawberries on top of each cookie before baking.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers still look soft.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For chewier cookies, consider chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. Adjust baking time according to your oven's specifics.
