Ingredients
  

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

¼ teaspoon salt

½ cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ cup finely chopped fresh strawberries

½ cup powdered sugar (for frosting)

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened (for frosting)

1-2 tablespoons heavy cream (or milk, as needed)

Additional strawberries for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set aside.

      Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes.

        Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

          Incorporate Strawberries: Gently fold in the finely chopped strawberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

            Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix; it's okay if a few streaks of flour remain visible.

              Shape Cookies: Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

                Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly soft, but they will firm up as they cool.

                  Cool the Cookies: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                    Prepare the Frosting: In a small bowl, beat together the powdered sugar, softened butter, and heavy cream until you reach a smooth, spreadable consistency. Adjust with more cream or powdered sugar as needed.

                      Assemble Sandwich Cookies: Once cookies are completely cool, spread a generous amount of frosting on the bottom of one cookie and top with another cookie to create a sandwich.

                        Garnish and Serve: Optionally, garnish the sandwich cookies with a small slice of fresh strawberry on top of each cookie for a beautiful presentation.
