Notes
Vegan Version: Use vegan butter and replace the egg with a flax or chia egg.
Add-ins: Consider adding white chocolate chips or a bit of lemon zest to enhance the flavor.
Dried Strawberries: If fresh strawberries aren’t available, you can use freeze-dried strawberries, crushed into small pieces.
Chilling Dough: For cookies that don’t spread too much, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
