Cooking Time:

8-11 minutes

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:

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