Ingredients

Strawberry Cookies

  • 150 grams (1 1/4 cup) flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3 tbsp freeze dried strawberries, finely ground and sifted
  • 85 grams (6 tbsp) unsalted butter, softened
  • 198 grams (1 cup) sugar
  • 1 egg
  • pink food coloring

Chocolate

  • 255 grams (1 1/2 cup) chocolate wafers
  • Sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350º.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and finely ground and sifted freeze dried strawberries.
  3. In a stand mixer with a paddle attachment or with a handheld mixer, blend together the butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy.
  4. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add in the egg and a few drops of pink food coloring. Continue to mix until combined.
  5. With the mixer on low, add in the flour mixture and mix on low just until combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  6. Wrap the strawberry dough in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
  7. Once chilled, use a 2 tbsp scoop and form cookies into balls.
  8. Place cookies on a parchment lined baking sheet a few inches apart.
  9. Bake cookies for 12-13 minutes.
  10. Let the cookies cool for about 10 minutes on the baking sheet before carefully moving them to a cooling rack.
  11. Melt chocolate wafers in a double boiler or in the microwave.
  12. Carefully dip half of each cookie into the chocolate and place on a sheet of wax or parchment paper.
  13. Add sprinkles.
  14. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Leftover cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to one week but are best when enjoyed within the first few days.
  • Cookie dough can be made ahead, scooped, and placed in a ziploc bag to be frozen for up to two months. Once you’re ready to bake, let the dough sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes and bake. You’ll need to add on an extra 5 minutes or so to the original baking time.
