Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (315g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • ½ cup (120ml) heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (about 150g) fresh strawberries, finely chopped
  • For the whipped cream:
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, powdered sugar, and salt.
  3. Cut in the cold, cubed butter using a pastry cutter or two forks until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Stir in heavy cream and vanilla extract until dough just comes together; add more cream if too dry.
  5. Gently fold in chopped strawberries, being careful not to overmix.
  6. Drop dough mounds about 2 inches apart onto prepared baking sheet, making 12-14 cookies.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes until edges are golden and cookies are firm but soft inside.
  8. Transfer cookies to a cooling rack and cool completely before adding whipped cream.
  9. In a chilled bowl, beat heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
  10. Dollop or pipe whipped cream onto each cookie and top with a small slice of strawberry. Serve immediately.

Notes

Keep butter cold to maintain flaky texture. Fold strawberries gently to avoid soggy dough. Chill bowl and beaters before whipping cream to help it hold shape. Avoid overworking dough to keep cookies tender. Bake at high temperature for a short time for golden edges and soft centers. Whip cream while cookies bake for efficiency.
