Notes
Chilling the dough is essential for proper texture and preventing spreading. Fresh strawberries must be patted completely dry and coated with cornstarch to control moisture. Cookies continue baking on hot pan after removal from oven, so slightly underbaked centers yield perfect chewy texture. Dough can be frozen for up to 3 months.
