Ingredients
  

Cookie Dough
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
Mix-ins
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries diced small
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Baking sheet

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in egg and vanilla until combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually mix dry ingredients into wet until just combined.
  6. Fold in strawberries and white chocolate chips gently to avoid crushing the berries.
  7. Scoop tablespoon-sized mounds onto prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until edges are just golden. Cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

These cookies taste best the day they're baked. You can chill the dough for up to 24 hours for a slightly thicker texture.
