It is strawberry season right now. Yay! And Cookie Friday! Double Yay! I know you can get strawberries all year round almost everywhere. But to be honest, I never buy them when they are not in season. First of all, I think it is a good thing when fruits and vegetables are only available for a certain period of time every year. You wait for the weeks they are available and you are actually much happier when you can have it. Do you know what I mean? The months of the year without rhubarb for example are torture, but the moment you see the first stalks at the farmers market. Priceless!

Second reason – I don’t like the strawberries you can get out of their season in stores. They do not look as good and don’t really taste good. Unless you buy super strawberries that are totally overpriced. In the end they are still not as good as the stuff you can get from your local farmers market. Fruits that lived happily outside and did not need to travel thousands of kilometers to get on my plate. So that’s why you won’t see me use strawberries all year round – unless I did a recipe with strawberries in summer but posted it later.
About the cookies – thanks to the cream cheese and the fresh strawberries these cookies are more on the chewy side. You know, there are the chewy ones, sometimes with a squishy center and then there are the crispy ones that crumble as soon as you look at them. These cookies here are somehow in between, more on the chewy side. Also on the delicious side. If you’re into strawberries, you should definitely try them!

INGREDIENTS / ZUTATEN
(18-20 cookies)
1 1/4 cup (160g) all-purpose flour*
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 pinch of salt
1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped (about 10 medium strawberries)
2 tbsp. lemon juice
1-2 tbsp. all-purpose flour*
1/4 cup (60g) butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup (150g) sugar
4 oz. (110g) cream cheese, at room temperature
1 medium egg
1 tsp. vanilla extract*
5.5 oz. (150g) white chocolate*, chopped
(18-20 Cookies)
160g Mehl (Type 405)*
1/2 TL Backpulver
1 Prise Salz
1 Tasse frische Erdbeeren, klein gewürfelt (etwa 10 mittelgroße Erdbeeren)
2 EL Zitronensaft
1-2 EL Mehl (Type 405)*
60g weiche Butter
150g Zucker
110g Frischkäse, Zimmertemperatur
1 Ei (M)
1 TL Vanille Extrakt*
150g weiße Schokolade*, gehackt

DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG
1. Line two baking sheets with baking parchment. Set aside. In a small bowl mix the flour with baking powder and salt. Set aside. Chop the strawberries into small dices and place in a small bowl and mix with the lemon juice. Let sit for about 3 minutes and then drain. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl beat the butter and sugar on high speed until light and fluffy. Add the cream cheese and vanilla extract and mix until well combined. Add the egg and mix again until well combined. Next, add the flour mixture in small portions and mix until just combined. Do not overmix. Fold in the chopped chocolate. Set aside. Add one tablespoon of the flour to the diced strawberries and toss. Every piece should be covered in flour – add the second tablespoon if needed. Add to the bowl with the batter and gently fold in. Try not to smash the strawberries.
3. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Place small amounts of dough on the baking sheet by using a spoon or cookie scoop. Leave enough space in between. Place the baking sheet in the fridge for about 10 minutes, then bake the cookies for about 12-15 minutes. The edges should have a light golden color. Take out of the oven and let cool down completely on a wire rack.
1. Zwei Backbleche mit Backpapier auslegen und zur Seite stellen. Das Mehl zusammen mit dem Backpulver und Salz in eine kleine Schüssel geben und vermischen. Zur Seite stellen. Erdbeeren in kleine Würfel schneiden und in eine Schüssel geben und mit dem Zitronensaft vermischen. Alles für etwa 3 Minuten ziehen lassen und dann abschütten und abtropfen lassen. Ebenfalls zur Seite stellen.
2. In einer großen Schüssel Butter und Zucker auf höchster Stufe aufschlagen, bis alles hell und luftig ist. Frischkäse und Vanille Extrakt zugeben und gut verrühren. Das Ei zugeben und unterrühren. Mehlmischung in kleinen Portionen zugeben und jeweils nur kurz verrühren. Nicht zu viel rühren! Gehackte Schokolade unterheben. Alles zur Seite stellen. Zu den Erdbeerwürfeln 1 EL Mehl zugeben und vermischen – die Erdbeeren sollten rundum mit Mehl bedeckt sein – ggf. noch etwas mehr Mehl zugeben. Erdbeeren vorsichtig unter den Teig heben und die Früchte dabei möglichst nicht zerdrücken.
3. Den Ofen auf 180°C (350°F) Ober-/Unterhitze vorheizen. Kleine Portionen des Teiges mit genügend Abstand dazwischen auf die Backbleche geben – entweder mit einem Löffel oder einem Eisportionierer. Das Backblech mit dem Teig für etwa 10 Minuten in den Kühlschrank legen und dann für etwa 12-15 Minuten backen. Die Ränder sollten leicht goldbraun werden. Aus dem Ofen nehmen und auf einem Kuchengitter komplett auskühlen lassen.
