Delightful Strawberry Sugar Cookies that are soft, sweet, and perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, finely chopped
- ½ teaspoon almond extract (optional)
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for frosting)
- 2 tablespoons milk (for frosting)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for frosting)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract (if using) until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Gently fold in the chopped strawberries until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the frosting, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth. Adjust the consistency with more milk or powdered sugar as needed.
- Once the cookies are completely cooled, drizzle or spread the frosting on top of each cookie.
Notes
- For a fun twist, add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the dough for a citrusy flavor.
- Substitute half of the strawberries with chocolate chips for a delicious strawberry-chocolate combination.
