The kitchen filled with the sweet aroma of fresh strawberries, and their eyes lit up with excitement as they took their first bites. The chewy texture and vibrant pink hue made these cookies irresistible!

What I love most about strawberry cookies is how they capture the essence of summer, even when the season changes. Each bite is like a warm hug, reminding me of sunny picnics and lazy afternoons spent outdoors. Plus, they are incredibly easy to whip up, making them perfect for busy weeknights or spontaneous gatherings. Whether you’re a seasoned baker or just starting, this recipe will guide you to create a batch of cookies that will have everyone asking for seconds.

Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

  

• 1/2 cup freeze-dried strawberries, crushed into powd
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
•  Pink or red colored sugar for decorating
• Optional: powdered sugar for dusting

Method

 

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and crushed freeze-dried strawberries.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
6. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll into balls.
7. Place dough balls on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
8. Flatten each ball slightly with the palm of your hand or the bottom of a glass.
9.  Sprinkle the tops generously with pink or red colored sugar.
10.  Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden.
11. Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
12. Optional: dust lightly with powdered sugar once cooled for a delicate finish.

Notes

• The thick batter is normal; extra stirring helps incorporate ingredients well.
• Refrigerating dough before baking can help ease portioning if you don’t have a cookie scoop.
• Cookies are softer fresh but firm up as they cool for the perfect texture.
