Instructions
Creating Strawberry Lemonade Cookies is a delightful process when following these simple steps:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Cream the Butter and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add Egg and Vanilla: Mix in the egg and vanilla extract, beating until well combined.
4. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
5. Add Strawberry and Lemon: Gently fold in the finely chopped strawberries, lemon zest, and lemon juice, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
6. Scoop the Dough: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
7. Bake the Cookies: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
8. Cool: Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Dust with Powdered Sugar: Once cooled, dust the cookies with powdered sugar to add a final touch of sweetness and flair.
