Description

These Double Strawberry Sugar Cookies are soft and chewy, featuring a delightful combination of freeze-dried strawberry powder and strawberry jam for a rich strawberry flavor. Topped with a creamy strawberry-infused icing, they make for a perfect treat any time of the year.

 


Ingredients

– 3 cups freeze-dried strawberries

– 2 sticks (1 cup) salted butter, at room temperature

– 1 cup granulated sugar

– 1 large egg

– 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

– 2 cups all-purpose flour

– 1 teaspoon baking soda

– 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

– 1/3 cup high-quality strawberry jam

– For the icing:

– 2 ounces cream cheese, softened

– 2 cups powdered sugar

– 1/4 cup hot milk

– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract


Instructions

1. In a blender or food processor, process the freeze-dried strawberries into a fine powder. Set aside.

2. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

3. In a large bowl, beat together the butter, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until combined. Beat in the egg.

4. Add the flour, baking soda, 1/4 cup of the strawberry powder (reserve the remainder for the frosting), and kosher salt. Mix until just combined.

5. Stir in the strawberry jam until the dough is evenly colored.

6. Roll the dough into rounded tablespoon-sized balls and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.

7. Bake for 8 minutes. Remove from the oven, rotate the baking sheet, and tap it on the counter once to flatten the cookies. Bake for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to set.

8. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet; they will continue to cook slightly as they cool.

9. To make the icing, mix the cream cheese, powdered sugar, hot milk, vanilla extract, and the remaining strawberry powder in a bowl until smooth. Adjust the consistency with more milk if needed.

10. Once the cookies have cooled, dip or drizzle them with the icing. Let the icing set before serving.

 


Notes

For a vegan version, ensure the butter is plant-based and use a flaxseed meal mixture as an egg substitute. These cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
