Instructions
Prepare dry ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Cream butter and sugar
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Pro tip: Use an electric mixer for best results.
Add wet ingredients
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
Mix in cream cheese
Add the cream cheese and mix until smooth and creamy.
Pro tip: Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature to avoid lumps.
Combine with dry ingredients
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined.
Pro tip: Do not overmix to keep the cookies tender.
Fold in strawberries
Gently fold in the diced strawberries into the dough.
Chill the dough
Cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Pro tip: Chilling helps to firm up the dough for easier handling.
Preheat oven
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Shape and bake
Scoop tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 5 cm (2 inches) apart. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Pro tip: Rotate the baking sheet halfway through for even baking.
Cool and serve
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Pro tip: Enjoy warm or store for later.
