    Happy Cookie Friday! Are you ready for a fresh batch of cookies? The strawberry season just started, so why not making some delicious cookies with strawberries? Not a bad idea, right?! What do you think? How about some delicious Strawberry Shortcake Cookies? I start drooling already just looking at the pictures – but to be honest – I have eaten many of these cookies, so I know how good they are ;P

    I already got a recipe for really nice White Chocolate Cream Cheese Strawberry Cookies here on the blog. For several years actually and I haven’t made anything similar since then. Which is a shame… I should have baked much more cookies with strawberries – they always turn out so nice. Well. Today I got something fresh for you. And this time you can do the cookies sugar-free if you want to. It’s pretty easy to do if you have xylitol* at hand ;)

    About shortcakes and strawberries… a classic Strawberry Shortcake is one of my favorite desserts since I tried it for the first time in the US. The combination of fluffy shortcake, fresh strawberries, and whipped cream is simply awesome! It’s definitely an easy and extremely delicious dessert for summer. Have you tried Strawberry Shortcake Cupcakes yet? Also very nice! Well… I guess you get the concept ;)

    One warning when making these cookies… these shortcake cookies are more like shortcakes or scones and less like cookies when it comes to texture. This means they are crumbly and soft on the inside. This also means they are best on the first day – possibly still a bit warm. They are still fine the next day but they definitely do not “age” as gracefully as chocolate chip cookies, for example. The longer they are stored, the drier they get – to a point where they are not nice anymore. So try eating them fast. Should not be a problem though ;P

    DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

    • English
    • Deutsch
    1. Wash and dry the strawberries, remove the green parts and cut into small pieces. Spread on a plate and place in the freezer for about 30 minutes.

    2. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with baking parchment and set aside.

    3. Add the flour, baking powder, xylitol (or sugar), and salt to a large bowl and mix to combine. Add the cold butter and cut into pea-sized pieces with a pastry blender*. Add the cold heavy cream and vanilla extract and mix in with a fork until larger streusel from and there are no dry spots with flour anymore. Add the diced strawberries from the freezer and mix in – the mix will be very crumbly and sticky. Use a large cookie scoop* or tablespoons and place dough portions with some space in between on the prepared baking sheet (keep the remaining dough in the fridge). Flatten the dough portions (the cookies do not spread much), sprinkle with some sugar (optional), and bake for about 15-17 minutes or until golden around the edges. Take out of the oven and let cool down on the baking sheet for some time, then transfer to a wire rack and let cool down completely. Repeat with the remaining dough.

    1. Die Erdbeeren waschen, trocknen, vom Grün befreien und dann in kleine Stücke schneiden. Auf einem Teller verteilen und dann für etwa 30 Minuten in das Gefrierfach stellen.

    2. Den Ofen auf 190°C (375°F) vorheizen. Ein Backblech mit Backpapier auslegen und zur Seite stellen.

    3. Mehl, Backpulver, Xylit (oder Zucker) und Salz in eine große Schüssel geben und vermischen. Die kalte Butter dazugeben und mit einem Teigmischer* in etwa erbsengroße Stücke zerteilen. Die kalte Sahne und den Vanille Extrakt mit in die Schüssel geben und alles mit einer Gabel verrühren, bis größere Streusel entstehen und kein Mehl mehr am Boden der Schüssel zu sehen ist. Die gewürfelten Erdbeeren aus dem Gefrierfach dazugeben und untermischen – die Masse wird sehr krümelig und klebrig sein, aber das ist OK. Mit einem großen Cookie Scoop (Eisportionierer)* oder Esslöffeln Teigportionen mit etwas Abstand zueinander auf das vorbereitete Backblech setzen (den restlichen Teig in den Kühlschrank stellen). Die Teigportionen flach drücken (der Teig zerläuft nicht so stark), mit etwas Zucker bestreuen (optional) und dann etwa 15-17 Minuten backen – die Ränder der Cookies sollten etwas Farbe bekommen haben. Aus dem Ofen holen und einige Zeit auf dem Backblech abkühlen lassen, dann auf ein Kuchengitter setzen und vollständig abkühlen lassen. Mit dem restlichen Teig wiederholen.

    Hi, my name is Marc. I’m a graphic designer.
    I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake – for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers – and it seems they like it most of the time. ;)
