Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour – This forms the base of your cookie dough, giving it structure. Spoon and level your flour for accurate measurement.
- ½ teaspoon baking soda – Aids in the rise and gives these cookies a soft, pillowy texture.
- ¼ teaspoon salt – Enhances the flavors and balances the sweetness.
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened – Adds rich flavor and moisture to the cookies. Leave it out at room temperature for easier creaming.
- ½ cup granulated sugar – For that perfect cookie sweetness.
- ¼ cup brown sugar – Adds a hint of caramel flavor and helps the cookies stay soft.
- 1 large egg – Acts as a binder and helps with the chewy texture.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract – Enhances the overall flavor, bringing out the sweetness of the strawberries and white chocolate.
- ¾ cup fresh strawberries, chopped – The star ingredient! Chop them small so you get a burst of strawberry in every bite.
- ½ cup white chocolate chips – Adds a creamy, sweet flavor that complements the strawberries beautifully.
- Glaze: ½ cup powdered sugar + 1-2 tablespoons milk + ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract – A simple vanilla glaze for that sweet finish.
