How to Make Strawberry Shortcake Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, gently combine the sliced strawberries, lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Set aside to macerate for at least 15 minutes.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and the remaining 7 tablespoons of granulated sugar.
  4. Cut in the chilled butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Gradually stir in the heavy cream until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the macerated strawberry mixture.
  7. Using a 1 1/2-inch ice cream scoop or a tablespoon, drop rounded scoops of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  8. Sprinkle the tops of the cookies with sanding sugar (optional).
  9. Bake for 24-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
  10. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 day.
