Ingredients
  

For the Cookies
  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter Use for a richer taste while controlling salt levels
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar This is the sweetness base for your cookies; substitute with coconut sugar for a healthier twist
  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar Adds moisture and deeper flavor; choose light or dark brown sugar based on your preference
  • 1 cup Fresh Strawberries Use ripe strawberries for optimum sweetness; frozen can be used but drain excess liquid first
  • 1 large Egg Binds ingredients together and aids fluffiness; swap with a flax egg for a vegan option
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract This enhances the overall flavor; opt for pure extract for a richer aroma
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder Acts as a leavening agent for light and fluffy texture
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt Enhances sweetness in sugary recipes
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour Provides structure for the cookies; make sure it’s measured correctly for best results
For the Sparkling Coating
  • 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar Gives your cookies that delightful sparkling touch; can replace with a blend of granulated sugar for crunch

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add egg and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture, mixing on low speed until fully combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  6. Fold in chopped fresh strawberries carefully with a spatula.
  7. Drop heaping spoonfuls of dough onto lined baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Sprinkle each unbaked cookie generously with sparkling strawberry sugar.
  9. Bake for about 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  10. Let cookies cool on baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
