Instructions

Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prep Strawberries: Clean and chop the strawberries, place them in a bowl, and add the lemon juice.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Cut in the butter using a fork or knife until the mixture resembles peas.
Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mash the bananas with a fork. Add the milk, zest, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Add the wet ingredients and strawberries to the dry mixture and mix well using a spatula. Do not over-mix.
Form Cookies: Using a cookie scoop, scoop out cookie dough and place on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a couple of inches between cookies.
Bake and Cool: Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 25 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack.

Notes

Use a cookie scoop due to the wet mixture.
Lemon juice enhances the strawberry flavor and freshness.
Store cookies with a piece of bread to maintain freshness.
Ensure cookies are completely cooled before storing in an airtight container or zip-lock bag at room temperature for 3-5 days.
To freeze, wrap cookies individually or place in an airtight container or zip-lock bag for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature for 15 minutes.
