  7. Scoop dough into 1-inch balls, roll each in sugar, and place on baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 8–10 minutes, until cookies are puffed and just set.

  10. Let cool on the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

🍪 Methods & Pro Tips

  • Soft & Chewy: Do not overbake — the cookies should look slightly underdone.

  • No Spreading: Chill dough 15 minutes if your kitchen is warm.
  • Flavor Boost: Add ½ tsp strawberry extract for extra strawberry aroma.
