Step-by-Step Instructions for Strawberry Lemonade Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a larger bowl, beat together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  4. Add in the egg, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing slowly until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in the chopped fresh strawberries using a rubber spatula.
  7. Using a cookie scoop, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between them.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden, letting them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks.
