Keywords: For best results, use fresh strawberries; frozen may lead to soggy cookies. Chill your dough before baking to maintain shape and enhance flavor. Don’t overbake! Cookies should be slightly soft in the center when removed from the oven. Customize by adding lemon zest or swapping strawberries with blueberries for a twist.
