Servings:

Cooking Time:

Ingredients:

• 1 cup of butter, softened
• ¾ cup of sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 2 ¾ cup of all purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon cream or tartar
• ¾ (or more, or less) cups of chopped strawberries

Instructions:

• In a large bowl, mix the butter and sugar together, until fluffy. When fluffy, mix in strawberries.
• Add egg and beat well, then mix vanilla extract.
• In a seprate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and cream of tartar. Add flour mixture to butter mixture, until thoroughly combined.
• Divide dough into two equal portions, then flatten each into a disk.
• Cover each disk in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours, or until the dough is firm enough to work with.
• If it becomes too firm, soften in a room for 5 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°.
• On a lightly floured board roll out dough, until it is about 1/3 inch thick.
• Cut out cookies with cookie cutter. Using a spatula, carefully move the cookies onto a cookie sheet, leaving about 2 inches between them.
• Bake for about 8 to 11 minutes, or until gold along the edges.
• Remove cookie sheet from oven, and let them cool for 4 minutes.
• Make the other cookies with the remaining disk of dough.
