Ingredients

Units Scale

Cookie Dough:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup freeze-dried strawberries, crushed into powder
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch

Garnish:

  • Optional white chocolate drizzle or extra crushed strawberries

Instructions

  1. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until smooth and fluffy. Mix in the vanilla extract.
  2. Prepare Dough: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, crushed freeze-dried strawberries, and cornstarch. Gradually add the dry mixture to the butter mixture and stir until a soft dough forms.
  3. Chill and Shape: Shape the dough into a log, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  4. Bake: Preheat the oven to 325°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Slice the dough into 1/4-inch rounds and place on the baking sheet. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the edges are just barely golden.
  5. Finish: Let cool completely before optionally drizzling with melted white chocolate or sprinkling with extra strawberry powder.

Notes

  • Freeze-dried strawberries provide concentrated flavor without added moisture—don’t substitute with fresh or frozen berries.
  • Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
