Ingredients
For the Cookies:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 cup butter room temperature
- 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs room temperature
- 3 tablespoons strawberry preserves
- Juice & zest of 1 lemon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 drops of red food coloring (optional)
- ⅔ cup about 6 strawberries, hulled and finely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375° and have ready a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or a Silpat.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside until ready to use.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, mix the butter and sugar on medium-high speed until lightened in color, about 3 minutes. If you don't have a stand mixer, use a medium-sized mixing bowl and a handheld mixer.
- Crack the eggs into a glass measuring pitcher. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add in the strawberry preserves, lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and red food coloring and mix until incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix once more.
- With the mixer on low, begin adding in the dry ingredients a little at a time until all has been incorporated. Add in the strawberries and mix on low until incorporated.
- Scoop out a generous tablespoon of dough and transfer to the baking sheet, spacing about 1” apart. Bake 10-12 minutes. Serve and enjoy.
