Directions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This step is crucial, as a well-preheated oven ensures even baking and the perfect texture for your cookies.
-
In a bowl, whisk together 2 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Set this mixture aside for later.
-
In a large bowl, beat together 1 cup of softened butter, 1 cup of softened cream cheese, 1 cup of sugar, and 1/2 cup of brown sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This combination creates the rich base of the cookies.
-
Add in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to enhance the flavor, and mix until fully incorporated.
-
Gradually mix in the dry ingredients from step 2 until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—the dough should remain light.
-
Fold in 1 cup of chopped fresh strawberries and, if you’re feeling indulgent, 1 cup of white chocolate chips. This adds a tremendous pop of color and sweetness to your cookies.
-
Using a spoon, drop spoonfuls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are spaced out to allow for spreading.
-
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden. The baking time can vary based on your oven, so keep an eye on these treasures.
-
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This step helps them firm up while still warm.
