Description
A refreshing treat recipe for Strawberry Lemonade Cookies that combines the sweetness of strawberries with the tanginess of lemon.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, finely chopped
- ½ cup powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the egg, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice to the butter mixture. Mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Gently fold in the finely chopped strawberries until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Using a tablespoon, scoop out the dough and place it onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, dust the cookies with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
- For a more intense lemon flavor, add an extra teaspoon of lemon zest.
- To make these cookies a bit more indulgent, drizzle a simple lemon glaze made from powdered sugar and lemon juice over the cooled cookies.
