Description

Tender, buttery cookies infused with fresh strawberries, perfect for tea time or as a light dessert.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
  • Optional: powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Dice the strawberries and pat them dry.
  2. Cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes with a hand mixer. Mix in the vanilla extract.
  3. Whisk together the flour, cornstarch, and salt in another bowl. Gradually add the dry mixture to the butter mixture and stir until just combined.
  4. Gently fold in the diced strawberries, using a spatula to avoid crushing them.
  5. Scoop tablespoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  6. Bake for 12–15 minutes, until edges are lightly golden and centers look set.
  7. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 3–5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Dust with powdered sugar if desired and serve at room temperature.

Notes

Pat strawberries dry to prevent the dough from becoming too wet. For even cookies, use a tablespoon scoop.
