Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for drizzle)
• 2 tablespoons milk (for drizzle)
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (for drizzle)

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 medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, mixing until well combined.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
6. Gently fold in the diced strawberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
7. Drop tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. While the cookies are cooling, prepare the drizzle by whisking together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.
10. Once the cookies are cool, drizzle the icing over the top of each cookie and let it set for a few minutes before serving.

Tips for the Best Results

• Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor.
• Make sure your butter is softened to room temperature for easier mixing.
• Don’t overbake the cookies; they should be slightly soft in the center when you take them out of the oven.

Easy Variations

• Substitute half of the strawberries with blueberries or raspberries for a mixed berry cookie.
• Add a sprinkle of lemon zest to the dough for a refreshing citrus twist.
• For a richer flavor, use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar.

What to Serve With It

• A scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert pairing.
• Fresh whipped cream for an extra layer of sweetness.
• A cup of tea or coffee for a perfect afternoon treat.
