Ingredients
Scale
- 1 oz Freeze-Dried Strawberries (processed into a powder)
- 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1 cup Unsalted Butter (room temperature)
- 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar
- 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 cup Powdered Sugar (for glaze)
- 2 tbsp Whole Milk
- 1/4 cup Freeze-Dried Strawberry Bits (for topping)
Instructions
- Add the freeze-dried strawberries to a food processor and pulse until the texture resembles a fine powder. Set to the side.
- In a medium-size mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set to the side.
- Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the unsalted butter and powdered sugar together until thick and creamy. Add the vanilla extract and freeze-dried strawberry powder.
- Add the whisked dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Shape the dough into a disc, transfer onto wax paper, roll out to a 1/4-inch thickness, and chill in the freezer for 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 300ºF and line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- Cut out the cookies using a cookie cutter and place them onto the prepared cookie sheets, leaving space between each cookie. Bake for 15-18 minutes.
- Let the cookies cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a wire cooling rack.
- Whisk together the powdered sugar and whole milk for the glaze. Dip the top of each cookie into the glaze and top with freeze-dried strawberry bits.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
