Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups 190g all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup 115g unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup 150g granulated sugar (plus extra for rolling)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup 75g fresh or frozen strawberries, pureed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Optional: red or pink food coloring

Method

  2. Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together.
  3. Cream butter and sugar for 2–3 minutes until light and fluffy.
  4. Add egg, vanilla extract, and strawberry puree and mix until combined.
  5. Fold in dry ingredients until just incorporated.
  6. Chill dough for at least 30 minutes.
  7. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  8. Roll dough into 1-inch balls and coat in granulated sugar.
  9. Place 2 inches apart and bake 10–12 minutes until edges are set.
  10. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Notes

For a stronger strawberry flavor, reduce strawberry puree before adding. Avoid overbaking to keep cookies soft and chewy.
