Description
Delicious cookies made with fresh strawberries and a touch of sweetness, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup strawberries (chopped)
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon water
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
- 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1–2 tablespoons milk (optional)
- Additional granulated sugar (for rolling)
Instructions
- Combine the chopped strawberries and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring often, until the strawberries break down and the mixture becomes syrupy.
- Stir the cornstarch and water together in a small bowl, add it to the strawberry mixture, and cook for 1 more minute until very thick, then remove from heat and let cool completely.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl and set aside.
- Beat the butter and sugar together in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla and mix until fully combined.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the butter mixture until a soft dough forms, adding milk if needed to keep the dough from becoming dry.
- Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the cooled strawberry jam over the dough and gently fold it in so streaks of jam remain. Add in more jam as needed.
- Scoop the dough into tablespoon-sized portions, roll into balls, and roll each ball in granulated sugar.
- Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a more intense flavor, add lemon zest to the dough.
- These cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
