Soft, tender cookies with a delicate sugar crust and bursts of fresh mixed berries, perfect for a comforting treat or potluck dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (310 g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon (4 g) baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon (3 g) salt
  • ¾ cup (170 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons (10 ml) vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups (225 g) mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, strawberries), fresh or frozen (if frozen, thaw and drain excess liquid)
  • ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar for rolling dough balls

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract until smooth and glossy.
  5. Gradually fold the sifted flour mixture into the wet ingredients using a spatula or wooden spoon, mixing just until combined.
  6. Gently fold in the mixed berries, taking care not to break them up too much.
  7. Cover the dough and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up.
  8. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, scoop out 1 ½ tablespoon (22 g) portions of dough. Roll each into a ball, then roll in granulated sugar to coat completely.
  9. Place the coated dough balls about 2 inches (5 cm) apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  10. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are set and the sugar crust has cracked. The centers should still look soft.
  11. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

If berries are very juicy, pat dry before folding into dough to avoid watery batter. Chilling dough is important to keep cookies thick and tender. Tent cookies with foil if sugar crust browns too fast. Avoid overmixing after adding flour to keep cookies tender.
