Strawberry Lemonade Cookies

p5144188-2

It’s definitely strawberry pickin’ season around here and after making my jam, strawberry cake, and strawberry ice cream, I found myself still greedily returning back to our local strawberry farm, clutching a basket to stuff it with more.  Needless to say, it’s been a strawberry party everyday.  Another one of my favorite ways to enjoy fresh berries is by muddling them into fresh lemonade.  As I took a sip in between my recent strawberry flurry, I decided then and there that I’d like to bake this sweet and tart flavor up into a cookie.  A quick poke around the net yielded pre-mixed box cake recipes which is all fine and dandy but this recipe blends in real crushed strawberries and the high note of pulpy, juicy lemons.

Serves: 2-3 Dozen

Ingredients
  • 1 stick soft unsalted butter
  • ½ c granulated sugar
  • ½ c brown sugar
  • 1 room temperature egg
  • Zest of 2 lemons
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 4-6 crushed strawberries
  • 2 c unbleached flour
  • ¼ ts fine salt
  • ¼ ts baking powder
  • ¼ ts baking soda
  • ½ c powdered sugar

Instructions
  1. In the first bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
  2. Blend in the egg and add the zest and juice.
  3. Blend in the crushed strawberries. I personally enjoy chunks, which also prevents the batter from being too wet.
  4. In the second bowl, sift together the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda.
  5. Slowly add the second bowl into the first. Mix just to combine to avoid over mixing.
  6. Scoop out dough and roll into the powdered sugar. The more you pack on, the more of a “crackle” look you achieve later.
  7. Bake at 350 for 11-13 minutes.

Love,

Your Squishy Monster ^.~

  • Amber says:

    I baked these today and I have to say they turned out nothing like the picture. I followed the recipe exactly but my dough was very moist, not firm enough to roll into balls. I ended up dropping tablespoon-sized lumps into the powdered sugar to get it coated, then spooning onto the plate. These cookies were very cakey and ended up extremely smooth on top, no crackle to speak of. I’m not sure what I did wrong because I followed all the measurements exactly. They do taste delicious but next time I might add some cinnamon or something because even with the salt they’re just a bit bland.

    Hi, Amber. Thanks for sharing with me. I’d be happy to troubleshoot =) Where I live, it’s not quite strawberry season. If you obtain conventional berries from the market they lack BIG flavor. I find that smaller, ripe naturally grown berries that are in season yields the best flavor as these cookies heavily rely on this key ingredient {as well as the zest, as long as it doesn’t get down too deep into the pith} When not in season, even strawberry jam/preserves {not jelly} would be better. As for the salt, they balance out the tart sweetness of the berries so if the former doesn’t exist, the salt won’t have too much to counteract. Also, whenever I bake, I use fine salt vs. kosher/sea as my recipes are tested with its fine grain out in teaspoon measurements in my kitchen. Finally, how long were the butter/sugar creamed? Also, if the butter is too warm {you want the consistency of scooped ice cream} then the cookies will have a hard time coming together. To combat this {or for warmer days}, popping it into the fridge for 30-60 minutes will help.
