  • Total Time: 38 minutes
  • Yield: 16 cookies

Ingredients

For the Cookies:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • ½ cup granulated sugar

  • 1 tablespoon baking powder

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed

  • ¾ cup heavy cream (plus extra for brushing)

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced

For the Whipped Cream Topping:

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar

  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Garnish:

  • Fresh strawberry slices

  • Mint leaves for decoration

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  • Mix Dry Ingredients:
    In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.

  • Add Cream & Strawberries:
    Pour in heavy cream and vanilla extract, stirring just until combined. Gently fold in diced strawberries without overmixing.

  • Shape & Bake:
    Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the baking sheet, leaving 2 inches between cookies. Brush tops with cream. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden. Cool completely.

  • Make Whipped Cream:
    Beat heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until soft peaks form.

  • Decorate & Serve:
    Top each cooled cookie with whipped cream, a strawberry slice, and a mint leaf. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • For extra flavor, toss strawberries in 1 teaspoon of sugar before folding into the dough.

  • Cookies can be stored (without cream) in an airtight container for up to 2 days.

  • Top with whipped cream just before serving to keep them fresh and fluffy.
