Chewy strawberry cookies that burst with berry flavor! Brown sugar cookie dough and bread flour give these cookies a wonderfully chewy texture.
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Chill Time 2 hours
Servings 16 cookies

Ingredients

  • 226 g or 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 200 g or 1 cups granulated sugar
  • 70 g or ⅓ cup brown sugar light not dark
  • Zest of 2 lemons
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • ¾ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp fine sea salt
  • 1 tsp lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 large egg
  • 300 g or 2 ⅓ cups bread flour
  • 35 g freeze dried strawberries

Instructions

  • Set the butter in a heatproof bowl and microwave for about a minute, until it’s partially melted. Add the sugar on top, stir it into the butter then return the bowl to the microwave for another 30-60 seconds, until the butter is fully melted.
  • Whisk the sugar and butter mixture for 2 minutes, then add the lemon zest, vanilla, baking soda and salt. Whisk well.
  • Add the egg in and whisk until the mix is shiny and smooth, about 1 full minute.
  • Set the dried berries in a food processor or blender and process until you have a powder (it’s ok if there are a few larger bits).
  • Add the bread flour, lemon juice, and freeze dried berry powder to the bowl and use a rubber spatula to mix until you can’ spot any more flour bits.
  • Don’t cover the bowl, but set it in the fridge to chill for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper. Use a cookie scoop to portion the dough into 2 tablespoons of dough per cookie. Leave about two inches between each dough ball as the cookies will spread.
  • If you want to do a glaze topping, leave the cookies bare. Otherwise, dip the cookie dough ball face down into some granulated sugar to coat.
  • Bake cookies for about 10-12 minutes, until golden just on the sides.
  • If making a glaze, wait until the cookies are completely cool, then mix 1 ½ cups powdered sugar with 2-3 tablespoons of either lime juice or fresh strawberry puree. Spoon over the center of each cookie.
