Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • whisk
  • spatula
  • cookie sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • refrigerator

Ingredients
  

For the Dough

  • 1 cup butter softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup freeze-dried strawberries crushed to a fine powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Glaze

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a mixing bowl, cream softened butter and powdered sugar together until light and fluffy, usually about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the vanilla extract to the creamed mixture and combine well.
  • Gradually add all-purpose flour to the creamed mixture, mixing on low speed just until combined.
  • Crush freeze-dried strawberries into a fine powder, then gently fold them into the dough with a spatula.
  • On a floured surface, knead the dough lightly and shape it into a log or roll it out to about ½ inch thickness.
  • Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  • Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Slice the logs into ½-inch rounds or cut out fun shapes.
  • Bake on parchment paper for 18-22 minutes until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
  • In a small bowl, whisk powdered sugar with milk until you reach desired consistency.
  • Drizzle or dip the cooled cookies in the glaze and allow it to set before serving.
