Servings: 24 cookies
Calories: 92kcal
Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cup all purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup unsalted butter chilled and cut into small pieces
- ½ cup + 1 - 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
- ½ cup strawberries hulled and chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until they are well combined.
- Add the pieces of butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your hands to blend the ingredients together until the mixture becomes crumbly.
- Slowly pour in ½ cup of whipping cream and gently incorporate it into the mixture with a spatula. If the mixture remains dry, add 1 tablespoon of whipping cream at a time, and if necessary, use your hands to thoroughly combine the dry ingredients into the dough.
- Gently fold in the strawberries, being careful to not crush the berries.
- Use a cookie scoop to drop the cookies onto the prepared cookie sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
- Bake for 15 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are slightly browned.
- Allow the cookies to cool on a cooling rack for 5 minutes before enjoying.
Notes
- The juicier the strawberries that more wet the consistency will be. This may result in a flatter cookie. They still have a great flavor but they won’t have a biscuit/scone type texture.
- These cookies will have a biscuit or a scone like texture, so they will be a little drier than a traditional cookie.
- Variation: You could add vanilla, white chocolate chips or even a powdered sugar glaze to give them a slightly different taste.
