strawberry basil biscuit cookies 🍓🌿

has anyone else noticed a bunch of little things keep going haywire lately? Like a bunch of minor things leading to major inconveniences, or am I just crazy??

either way, I will always resort to baking in my kitchen to somewhat escape the madness …even when my oven is broken lol

Strawberry Basil Sugar Cookies recipe 

Ingredients:

* 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour

* 1 tsp baking powder

* ½ tsp salt

* ¾ cup (1 ½ sticks) unsalted butter, softened

* 1 cup granulated sugar

* 1 large egg

* 1 tsp vanilla extract

* ¼ cup finely chopped fresh basil

* 1/2 cup strawberry preserves 

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. Whisk dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

3. Cream butter and sugar: In a large bowl, beat softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).

4. Add egg & vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.

5. Add basil: Stir in the chopped fresh basil until evenly distributed.

6. Combine with dry ingredients: Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.

7. Add preserves swirl: Gently fold in the strawberry preserves, swirling it through the dough but not fully mixing it in, leaving visible streaks and pockets of preserves.

8. Form cookies: Using a tbsp or cookie scoop, drop 2-3 tbsp dough balls onto prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart. Optional: roll dough balls in sugar before placing for a sparkly, sweeter finish.

9. Bake: Bake for 12-17 minutes, until the edges are just lightly golden and the centers look set. Press cookies down straight out the oven to flatten slightly

10. Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
