2. Can I use frozen strawberries for this recipe?

Fresh strawberries are ideal for this recipe, as they provide the best texture and flavor. However, if you're using frozen strawberries, make sure to thaw and drain them well to avoid excess moisture in the dough.

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Dice fresh strawberries into small pieces and pat them dry with a paper towel.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and beat until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
Fold in the diced strawberries and white chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly with a fork or spoon.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the cookies have set. Keep an eye on them to avoid overbaking.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For chewier cookies, refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
Ensure strawberries are properly dried to avoid excess moisture in the dough.
If you’re using frozen strawberries, make sure to thaw and drain them well.
