1 large egg

Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

In a large bowl, cream together softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy (2-3 minutes).

Gently fold in the finely chopped strawberries and, if desired, strawberry jam for an extra burst of flavor.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
-
Drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.

Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
You can use frozen strawberries, but be sure to thaw and drain them well to avoid excess moisture in the dough.
For a dairy-free version, substitute butter with margarine or plant-based butter.
Feel free to mix in other fruits like blueberries or raspberries to add variety to your cookies.
These cookies can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days, or frozen for up to 2 months.
