For the Cookie Dough
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour Substitute with gluten-free flour for a gluten-free option.

  • ½ teaspoon Salt Try using sea salt for a unique depth of flavor.
  • 1 large Egg Replace with ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce for a vegan version.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Consider almond extract for a different flavor profile.

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together ½ cup of unsalted butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar for about 3-4 minutes until light and fluffy.
  3. Add 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, beating on low speed until fully integrated, about 1 minute.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and ½ teaspoon of salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
  6. Fold in 1 cup of chopped fresh strawberries gently to avoid mashing them.
  7. Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Sprinkle sparkling sugar on top of each cookie dough ball.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are lightly golden and centers look set but still soft.
  10. Cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
