Dry Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped and patted dry
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- Prepare Your Oven and Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking. Chop the fresh strawberries into small chunks for even distribution.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to provide proper structure and rise.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: Using a hand or stand mixer, beat softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy to ensure softness and sweetness.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add pure vanilla extract, mixing well after each addition to fully incorporate and develop flavor and tenderness.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry flour mixture into the wet mixture, stirring gently just until combined, avoiding overmixing to keep cookies tender.
- Fold in Strawberries and White Chocolate Chips: Carefully fold in the chopped strawberries and white chocolate chips, distributing evenly without crushing the berries to preserve juicy pockets.
- Scoop and Bake: Drop tablespoon-sized dollops of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until edges are lightly golden and centers look slightly underbaked for a chewy texture.
- Cool and Enjoy: Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, allowing them to set while remaining soft.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients for better mixing and dough consistency.
- Do not overmix the dough to maintain soft, chewy cookies.
- Pat dry fresh strawberries to remove excess moisture and avoid soggy cookies.
- Chill the dough in the fridge for 30 minutes before baking to control spread and intensify flavor.
- Underbake slightly for soft centers that are chewy and inviting.
