Soft, buttery sugar cookies with a sweet, fruity twist from freeze-dried strawberries, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup freeze-dried strawberries, crushed into powder
  • Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting or glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  2. Place freeze-dried strawberries in a food processor or blender and pulse until they become a fine powder. Set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and strawberry powder until well combined.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy (2-3 minutes).
  5. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  6. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring just until a soft dough forms. Avoid overmixing.
  7. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  8. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared cookie sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. For cut-out cookies, roll out the dough to about 1/4-inch thickness and use cookie cutters.
  9. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden. Be careful not to overbake.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Optional: Add a glaze made of powdered sugar, milk, and a splash of vanilla, or dust with powdered sugar once cooled.
