These cookies are buttery, fruity, and perfect for a sweet treat! Let’s bake some happiness with strawberries and shortbread magic!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced

Instructions

  1. Prep Time:
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Make sure your butter is soft and ready to go!
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar:
    In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and sugar. Beat until light and fluffy.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients:
    In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt to evenly distribute the salt.

  5. Fold in Strawberries:
    Gently fold in the diced strawberries to ensure even distribution. Avoid overmixing to prevent the dough from getting too soft.
  6. Shape the Cookies:
    Scoop the dough using a tablespoon and place dollops onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Flatten each one slightly into your desired shape. Leave about 1–2 inches of space between cookies to allow for spreading.
  7. Bake:
    Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Keep an eye on them—they should have a light brown tint on the sides.
  8. Cool Down:
    Remove the cookies from the oven and transfer them to a cooling rack. Let them cool completely before serving (if you can wait!).
  9. Enjoy:
    Grab one (or two!) and enjoy these buttery, strawberry-packed delights!

Notes

  • Use Fresh Strawberries: Fresh, ripe strawberries will give the best flavor. Avoid overly juicy ones to keep the dough from getting too wet.
  • Chill the Dough: If the dough feels too soft, pop it in the fridge for 10–15 minutes before shaping. This helps the cookies hold their shape while baking.
  • Even Sizing: Use a tablespoon or small cookie scoop for evenly sized cookies, ensuring consistent baking.
  • Watch the Baking Time: Keep a close eye on the cookies in the last few minutes of baking to prevent over-browning.
  • Store Properly: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
  • Experiment with Flavors: Add a splash of vanilla or almond extract for an extra flavor twist!
