  • Author: Rita
  • Total Time: 32 minutes
  • Yield: 20 cookies

Description

Bright, sweet, and tangy homemade strawberry lemonade cookies bursting with fresh strawberries, lemon zest, and vanilla flavor.


Ingredients

Fresh strawberries diced
All-purpose flour
Baking powder
Baking soda
Salt
Unsalted butter softened
Granulated sugar
Brown sugar
Large egg
Fresh lemon juice
Lemon zest
Vanilla extract
Powdered sugar optional for garnish


Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, cream softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the egg, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until fully combined.
Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
Gently fold in the diced strawberries, taking care not to overmix.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Scoop dough balls onto baking sheets, spacing them a few inches apart.
Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are golden but centers remain soft.
Cool cookies on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and minimal moisture.
Do not overmix once strawberries are added to prevent soggy cookies.
Optional lemon glaze can be drizzled on top for extra zing.
For a firmer texture, chill dough for 30 minutes before baking.
