1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 egg yolk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
Pinch of salt
Instructions
1. Dice strawberries very finely and pat dry to remove excess moisture.

6. Gently fold in the diced strawberries without overmixing.
7. Preheat air fryer to 320°F (160°C). Line basket with perforated parchment.
8. Scoop tablespoon-sized dough balls and lightly flatten them.
9. Air fry for 6–8 minutes until edges are lightly golden.
10. Let cookies cool for 5 minutes to set before serving.
Notes
Patting strawberries dry prevents soggy cookies.
If cookies brown too quickly, lower air fryer temperature by 10–15°F.
Chill dough for 10 minutes if the batter feels too soft from juicy berries.
Add a teaspoon of strawberry jam on top before air frying for thumbprint style.
Cookies taste best the same day, but can be stored airtight for up to 3 days.
