Ingredients
- 10 tablespoons unsalted butter melted and cooled for 10 minutes
- ¾ cup granulated sugar 5.25 ounces
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/3 cups flour 6.65 ounces all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 ounce freeze-dried strawberries about 1 very full cup
Instructions
- Pour freeze-dried berries into a ziptop bag and close. Pound or roll with a rolling pin until the berries are crushed into smaller pieces, but not powder. You can leave some larger pieces if you'd like. Set berries aside.
- Add granulated sugar to melted and cooled butter and whisk until the mixture is totally combined. It should be thick and shiny. Whisk in egg and vanilla until combined and smooth, about 60 seconds.
- Add the flour, baking powder, and salt into the bowl with the other ingredients and use a spatula to fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Dough will be very soft.Add strawberries and gently fold in until evenly distributed.
- Chill dough for a minimum of 2 hours or up to overnight.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Use a #40 (1.5 tablespoon) scoop to scoop the cookie dough and arrange 2” apart on baking sheet. Flatten scoops slightly with fingertips or the back of a measuring cup.
- Bake one sheet at a time for 10-11 minutes, or until cookies have puffed, spread, and appear just slightly golden on the edges and set in the centers. Don’t overbake. Allow to cool for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to finish cooling.
Notes
How to Store: Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to five days. Or, freeze in freezer safe packaging for 1-2 months.
