# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and pinch of salt.

Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until incorporated. Avoid overmixing.
06 -
Gently fold the chopped or mashed fresh strawberries into the dough, ensuring even distribution without overworking the batter.
07 -
Scoop dough using a tablespoon or cookie scoop and place onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each portion to allow for spreading.
08 -
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until the cookie edges turn golden and the centers are just set.
09 -
Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for several minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Ensure butter and cream cheese are fully softened to achieve a smoother dough and proper creaming.
