Ingredients
Scale
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp light brown sugar (packed)
- 6 tbsp all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 4 tbsp canola or vegetable oil
- ½ teaspoon clear vanilla extract
- ⅔ cup diced fresh strawberries
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 12 tbsp unsalted butter (room temperature)
- 1 cup light brown sugar (packed)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg (room temperature)

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups + 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ cup shortcake crumbs (from above recipe)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300 F/150 C.
- Combine the sugar, light brown sugar, flour, baking powder, oil, and vanilla in a medium bowl until crumbs form. Spread the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking tray and bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown. Set aside to cool completely.
- Toss the strawberries and lemon juice in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a mixing bowl for three minutes until light and fluffy.
- Mix in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract until just combined.
- Mix in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until almost combined.
- Fold in ½ cup of shortcake crumbs and chopped strawberries. If strawberries are very juicy, strain before adding.
- Scoop the dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Press more shortcake crumbs onto the tops of each dough ball.
- Chill the tray in the freezer for at least 2-3 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 350 F/180 C and bake the cookies for 9-11 minutes for standard size and 12-14 for large.
- Let the tray cool for at least 15 minutes before removing each cookie.
Notes
Chill the dough to maintain shape while baking. Use fresh strawberries for best flavor.
