  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 24 cookies 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Fruit

  • 1/2 cup fresh lychee, peeled, pitted, and finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Preparing the Fruit: Start by peeling and pitting fresh lychee, then finely chop them alongside fresh strawberries. Gently pat the fruit dry with a paper towel to avoid excess moisture, which can alter cookie consistency.
  2. Mixing the Wet Ingredients: Cream softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract, ensuring a smooth, homogenous mixture that will help carry all the flavors.
  3. Combining the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. This step prevents clumps and promotes even rising and texture throughout the cookies.
  4. Bringing It All Together: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mix until just combined. Gently fold in the chopped lychee and strawberries, careful not to over-mix to maintain a tender dough.
  5. Shaping and Baking: Scoop the dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet in tablespoon-sized mounds, spacing them well for spreading. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12-15 minutes or until light golden edges form, then cool completely on a wire rack before enjoying.

Notes

  • Use ripe fruit for maximum sweetness and the best texture.
  • Don’t overmix ingredients to keep the cookies soft and chewy.
  • Slightly underbake for a chewy, supple texture.
  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and avoid over-browning.
  • Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking for deeper flavor and easier handling.
