Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, pureed
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for coating)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Wash and hull 1 cup of fresh strawberries, then puree them in a blender or food processor. Measure out the puree and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding in until just combined.
- Gently fold in the strawberry puree.
- Drop large spoonfuls of cookie dough onto a lined baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
- Roll each cookie ball in powdered sugar until well coated.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until puffed and the edges are lightly golden. Let cool before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
Ensure butter is softened for even mixing. Chilling the dough helps create thicker cookies. Don't skip the powdered sugar coating for the crinkle effect.
