Fresh Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh ripe strawberries, chopped into small pieces
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened or melted
Dry Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Sugars
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- Prepare the Strawberries: Start by washing and drying fresh strawberries thoroughly. Chop them into small pieces to ensure even distribution throughout the cookie dough and prevent sogginess.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla extract until smooth and fully combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add these dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until incorporated to avoid a dense cookie.
- Fold in Strawberries and White Chocolate: Gently fold in the chopped strawberries and white chocolate chips, making sure they are evenly distributed without breaking up the fruit too much.
- Chill the Dough: Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help the cookies hold their shape during baking and intensify flavor.
- Bake Your Cookies: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop dough onto a lined baking sheet, spacing each spoonful adequately. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are lightly golden and centers look set.
- Cool and Enjoy: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking tray for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature for maximum enjoyment.
Notes
- Use fresh strawberries for the best texture; avoid dried or frozen unless thawed and drained.
- Don’t overmix the dough to ensure soft and chewy cookies rather than tough ones.
- Chill the dough to prevent cookies from spreading too much during baking.
- Remove cookies just before they appear fully baked for a soft, chewy center.
- Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness and moisture.
