Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup confectioners’ sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, finely diced
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a spacious bowl, beat the softened butter and confectioners’ sugar together until airy and pale.
- Stir in the vanilla essence until fully incorporated.
- Gradually mix in the flour and sea salt until the dough just comes together.
- Carefully fold in the finely diced strawberries, ensuring even distribution throughout the dough.
- Using a tablespoon, drop rounded scoops of the dough onto the lined baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each mound.
- Gently press down on each cookie to flatten them slightly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges turn a delicate golden brown.
- Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding 1/4 teaspoon of almond essence along with the vanilla.
- You can experiment by swapping the strawberries for other berries like blueberries or raspberries for a refreshing change.
