# Ingredients:

01 - 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
02 - 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
03 - 1 large egg
04 - 1/4 cup champagne
05 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

# Steps:

01 - Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
03 - Mix in the egg, then add the champagne and pure vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.
04 - In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt. Gradually blend this into the wet mixture until just combined.
05 - Gently fold in the finely chopped fresh strawberries, ensuring an even distribution without overmixing.
06 - Scoop portions of dough, roll into balls, and coat them in pink sugar.
07 - Place the sugared dough balls on the lined baking sheet, ensuring enough space for spreading. Bake for 8-10 minutes until golden around the edges.
08 - Allow cookies to rest on the baking sheet for a minute before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
