Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • Butter softened – adds richness and soft texture
  • Sugar – sweetens while keeping the cookies tender
  • Egg – provides structure
  • Vanilla Extract – enhances the strawberry flavor
  • All-Purpose Flour – creates the soft cookie base
  • Baking Powder – helps achieve a cake-like texture
  • Salt – balances sweetness
  • Strawberries or Strawberry Pieces – fresh or freeze-dried both work well
  • White chocolate or cream-style drizzle – adds that signature shortcake creaminess

Method
 

  1. Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
  2. Gently mix in the flour, baking powder, and salt just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies soft.
  3. Fold in strawberry pieces carefully so they stay evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  4. Chilling the dough for 20–30 minutes helps the cookies hold their shape and bake evenly.
  5. Bake until the edges are lightly golden and the centers remain soft.
  6. Let cool slightly before adding any drizzle or topping.
