Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and diced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• Extra strawberries for topping (optional)

How to Make Strawberry Shortcake Cookies

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture, and mix until well combined.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
6. Fold in the diced strawberries gently, being careful not to overmix.
7. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
9. While the cookies are baking, whip the heavy cream with the powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
10. Once the cookies have cooled, top each cookie with a dollop of whipped cream and a slice of fresh strawberry.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure your butter is softened to room temperature for easy creaming.
• Don’t overmix the cookie dough after adding the strawberries to keep the cookies tender.
• Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Easy Variations

• Substitute half of the strawberries with blueberries for a mixed berry version.
• Add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the cookie dough for a refreshing citrus flavor.
• Drizzle melted chocolate over the cookies for an extra indulgent touch.

What to Serve With It

• A scoop of vanilla ice cream for a classic dessert pairing.
• Fresh mint leaves for a refreshing garnish.
• A cup of tea or coffee to balance the sweetness.
