Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 18 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chopped strawberries
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent the cookies from sticking.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until well blended. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture. Beat until fully incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the chopped strawberries and white chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked, which is fine as they will continue to cook while cooling.
- Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your delicious Strawberry and White Chocolate Cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
Tips
- Use Fresh Strawberries: For the best flavor and texture, opt for ripe, fresh strawberries. If you prefer a stronger strawberry taste, consider using freeze-dried strawberries for added crunch.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until they are incorporated. Overmixing can lead to tough cookies, so be gentle!
- Chill the Dough: If you have time, chill the cookie dough for about 30 minutes before baking. This helps the cookies maintain their shape and enhances the flavors.
- Check for Doneness: Keep an eye on your cookies as they bake. They should be lightly golden around the edges but slightly soft in the center. They will continue to firm up as they cool.
- Experiment with Mix-ins: Feel free to get creative! Add nuts like macadamias or pecans, or swap out the white chocolate chips for dark chocolate for a different flavor profile.
