  • 1/4 cup Powdered Sugar Provides a light sweetness and smooth texture.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  3. Wash and finely chop the strawberries into small pieces.
  4. In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar until creamy.
Cooking
  1. Add in the vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
  2. Gradually mix in the all-purpose flour and salt until fully incorporated.
  3. Gently fold in the chopped strawberries into the dough.
  4. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced evenly apart.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Serving
  1. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
  2. Once cooled, serve immediately or store them in an airtight container.

Notes

For best results, use softened butter, avoid overworking the dough, and chill the dough if too soft. Store cookies in an airtight container for up to a week.
