Dry Ingredients

  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 4 Tablespoons freeze-dried strawberry powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch of fine sea salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 Tablespoons whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 teaspoon strawberry extract (optional)
  • Pink food coloring (optional)
  • 1/3 cup decorators’ sugar (optional)

Instructions

  1. Line and Prepare: Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper, set aside.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, add the flour, strawberry powder, baking powder, and salt, mix and set aside.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In the body of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment cream together the butter and sugar until smooth.
  4. Add Egg: Add the egg and mix it in until combined.
  5. Add Liquids: Next, add the milk, vanilla, and strawberry extract (if using), and stir together until combined.
  6. Combine Dry and Wet: Slowly add in the dry ingredients and mix until just combined making sure there are no dry patches.
  7. Add Food Coloring: Add food coloring if using, and make sure it is mixed together evenly.
  8. Scoop and Roll: Using a 1 ½ Tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop out the cookie dough and roll it into a ball with your hands.
  9. Chill Dough: Place cookie dough balls on the prepared cookie sheet close together but not touching. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 2 hours, but best if you can chill overnight.
  10. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350 degree F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  11. Prepare Sugar: Pour the decorator’s sugar into a small bowl (if using).
  12. Dip and Place: Dip the tops of the dough balls into the decorator’s sugar. Place them, sugar side up, onto the prepared cookie sheets about 2 inches apart.
  13. Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 11-13 minutes until the tops are puffed up and they appear dry.
  14. Cool: Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the cookie sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For best texture and shape, chill the cookie dough balls for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • Optional pink food coloring enhances the strawberry theme.
  • Using decorators’ sugar adds a nice sparkling topping to the cookies.
  • Let cookies cool completely on a wire rack after resting on the cookie sheet for a crisp finish.
