Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh strawberries (pureed)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Puree the fresh strawberries until smooth.
- In a bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in the strawberry puree and vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour and baking powder; gradually add to the wet mixture until well combined.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about two inches apart.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden around the edges. Allow cooling on wire racks before serving.
Notes
- For best results, use ripe, fresh strawberries instead of frozen ones.
- If your dough feels too wet, add a little more flour until it reaches the desired consistency.
- Experiment by substituting strawberry puree with other fruit purees like raspberry or blueberry for a unique twist.
