Strawberry cookies?

We set out to make strawberry cookies, but ended up with something that was a cross between a cookie and a rock cake. Tasted biscuity-cookie-like enough but looked more like a rock cake. Either way, it tasted good.

Ingredients:

150g chopped fresh strawberries 

100g caster sugar

250g plain flour 

50g milk chocolate (chopped into chunks)

Half a tsp baking powder

Pinch salt

110g butter

1 egg

1 tsp vanilla extract

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 180c. Grease and line a baking tray.

2. Cream together the butter, sugar, vanilla and egg (I used my stand mixer, scraping around the sides as needed).

3. In a separate bowl mix together the flour, baking powder and salt.

4. Pour the bowl of flour into the creamed butter and fold together until combined.

5. Add the chopped strawberries and chocolate chunks and fold until incorporated. 

6. Roll into balls and place on the baking tray. You could probably press down to flatten them slightly. I didn't as I wasn't sure how much they would spread when cooking. 

7. Bake for 15-20 minutes until beginning to turn a golden colour.

Remove from oven and leave to cool.
