  • Fresh strawberries add a burst of flavor
  • Great for gatherings or a cozy night in

Ingredients

  • 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • Extra sugar for sprinkling (optional)

How to Make Soft Sugar Cookies with Fresh Strawberries

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, mixing until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. If desired, sprinkle a little extra sugar on top of each cookie before baking.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden, and the centers look set.
  9. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Serve the cookies warm or at room temperature with sliced fresh strawberries on the side.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Make sure your butter is at room temperature to ensure a smooth batter.
  • Do not overbake the cookies; they should be soft in the center when you take them out of the oven.
  • For an extra touch, consider adding a drizzle of melted chocolate over the cookies before serving.

Easy Variations

  • Swap out the strawberries for other fresh fruits like raspberries or blueberries for a different flavor profile.
  • Add a teaspoon of almond extract for a unique twist on the classic sugar cookie.
  • Mix in chocolate chips or sprinkles for a fun and colorful addition.

What to Serve With It

  • A scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert.
  • Whipped cream to elevate the sweetness.
  • A drizzle of chocolate sauce for a rich contrast.
  • A cup of tea or coffee to complement the flavors.

Storage and Reheating

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze the cookies in a single layer, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to 3 months. To reheat, simply pop them in the microwave for a few seconds or warm them in a preheated oven at 300°F (150°C) for about 5 minutes.
