Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 ¾ cups (344g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • Freeze-dried strawberries, ground into a powder
  • Optional: Extra sugar for sprinkling on top or white chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the freeze-dried strawberries: Use a food processor to grind the freeze-dried strawberries into a fine powder. Set aside.
  2. Cream the butter and sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat 1 cup (226g) of unsalted butter and 1 cup (200g) of granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add wet ingredients: Mix in 1 large egg and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract until combined.
  4. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ¾ cups (344g) of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, ½ teaspoon of salt, and the strawberry powder.
  5. Mix dough: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms. If the dough feels sticky, refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  6. Shape cookies: Roll the dough into balls (about 1 tablespoon each) and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Flatten slightly for a classic sugar cookie look.
  7. Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  8. Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
