Ingredients
Scale:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup fresh strawberries, pureed
Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Strawberry frosting (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats to prevent sticking.
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Beat until fully incorporated.
Slowly add the strawberry puree, mixing until combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges begin to turn golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
If desired, once cooled, dust the cookies with powdered sugar or spread with strawberry frosting.
