Strawberry Lemon Cookies
These Strawberry Lemon Cookies are made with fresh lemons and strawberries! If you are a fan of lemon baked goods, you are going to love these cookies. They are soft, chewy and packed full of delicious fresh lemon and strawberry flavor.
Ingredients
- 5 ounces unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 lemons zested
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 large eggs 1 whole egg & 1 egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup fresh strawberries diced
- ½ cup powdered sugar
I always use Kosher salt in my kitchen! If using table salt, start with half the amount and adjust to taste, as it is much "saltier" by volume.
Instructions
- Preheat an oven to 350° F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In the bowl of a mixer cream together the butter, sugar and lemon zest until light and fluffy. About 5 minutes.
- Now add in the egg, egg yolk, vanilla extract and lemon juice. Mix until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. Now add the flour mixture to the mixing bowl with the butter mixture. Mix just until fully combined.
- Fold in roughly ½ cup of the diced strawberries. Reserving the remaining ¼ cup for topping the strawberries. Using a 1-ounce scoop or two heaping tablespoons, portion the dough and place on a lined baking sheet. Press a few pieces of strawberry on the tops of each cookie then roll in the powdered sugar. Place back on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 12-13 minutes. Enjoy!
