Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ½ cups (315 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup (170 grams) unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup (150 grams) granulated sugar
- ¼ cup (50 grams) packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup (about 150 grams) fresh strawberries, diced small
- Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
- Whisk together the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
- Cream the softened butter and both sugars using a mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients. Mix on low speed or fold gently until just combined.
- Fold in the diced fresh strawberries, being careful not to mash them.
- Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart.
- Optionally, sprinkle granulated or coarse sugar on top for a subtle crunch.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden but the centers remain soft.
- Cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Best served warm, dusted with powdered sugar. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze for up to three months.
