Strawberry Yogurt Cookies
From: Lisa Cain @ www.snack-girl.com/
These cookies are pretty much divine. I love the idea of strawberries in cookies because I love strawberries in pretty much everything. These will remind you of those jam stuffed cookies that you eat at the holidays.
I used Greek yogurt instead of butter and it works really well. The sourness of the yogurt is offset by the sweetness of the berries.
Give these a try with your next quart of strawberries (if you can keep someone from eating them all).
Makes 18 cookies
Ingredients:
1 cup white whole wheat flour (such as King Arthur’s brand)
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sugar
2/3 cup Greek yogurt, non-fat (or whatever you have on hand)
1 egg white, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced into small pieces
Instructions:
Heat oven to 375 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
Add yogurt, egg, and vanilla and mix until combined.
Fold in strawberries and drop dollops of batter, about 2 tablespoons in size, onto parchment paper about 1 inch apart.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until the edges of the cookies start to turn brown.
