Strawberry and Cream cookies (with fresh strawberries)

These cookies are slightly crisp with a nice chew and yummy fresh strawberries that get juicy and crisp in the oven. The white chocolate adds a perfect creaminess. I ate way to many of them... shh...

Ingredients
  

  • 8 tablespoons 1 stick unsalted butter
  • 1 large egg room temp
  • 1 heaping cup fresh strawberries
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste if you have it
  • 1 1/2 cups quick-cooking oats
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Place unsalted butter in the bowl of a stand mixer (or large bowl if using an electric hand mixer). Arrange 2 racks to divide the oven into thirds and heat the oven to 350°F.
  • Meanwhile, line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Trim and finely chop strawberries until you have 1 cup.
  • Add 1 cup packed light brown sugar to the bowl of butter. Beat with the paddle attachment on medium speed until fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Add the egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and beat until combined, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Place oats, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon baking powder in a medium bowl and stir to combine. With a rubber spatula, add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and fold gently until just combined.
  • Add the strawberries and white chocolate chips to the batter and fold in with rubber spatula until just combined.
  • Divide the dough into 16 to 18 (about 3 scant tablespoon) portions. Form into balls and place on the baking sheets, spacing them even apart. You can also use a cookie scoop for this.
  • Lightly press down on each dough ball until about 2 inches wide. Bake for 8 minutes. Rotate the baking sheets from top to bottom and front to back halfway through. Continue to bake until golden-brown and no longer shiny, about 5-7 minutes more. Let cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes. Transfer the cookies to wire racks and let cool completely. ENJOY!
