Ingredients
For the Cookies:
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- Optional: 1 tablespoon cornstarch (for extra softness)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Dough:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cornstarch (if using).
- In a large bowl, beat butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
- Add egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just incorporated (be careful not to overmix).
2. Add Strawberries and Chocolate:
- Fold in the diced strawberries and white chocolate chips gently. Avoid overmixing to prevent releasing too much juice from the strawberries.
3. Shape and Bake the Cookies:
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, place tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
Notes
- Frozen Strawberries: If fresh strawberries are not available, you can use frozen strawberries. Ensure they are thawed and drained to prevent excess moisture in the dough.
- Dairy-Free Option: Substitute butter with a plant-based alternative and use dairy-free white chocolate chips.
- Nutty Addition: Add ½ cup chopped nuts like macadamia nuts or almonds for an extra crunch.
