Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup freeze-dried strawberries, crushed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Substitutions:

  • For a dairy-free version, use plant-based butter.
  • Substitute all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour for a gluten-free option.

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare Your Oven

Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Cream Butter and Sugar

In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This step ensures a smooth texture.

Step 3: Add Vanilla

Mix in the vanilla extract to enhance the flavor profile of your cookies.

Step 4: Incorporate Dry Ingredients

Gradually add the flour and salt into the wet mixture. Mix until a dough forms.

Step 5: Fold in Strawberries

Gently fold the crushed freeze-dried strawberries into the dough. Ensure they’re evenly distributed for consistent flavor.

Step 6: Shape the Cookies

Scoop small portions of dough and roll into balls. Flatten them gently onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 7: Bake

Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden. Allow the cookies to cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Use freeze-dried strawberries for the most intense flavor.
  • If the dough feels too soft, chill it for 10–15 minutes before shaping.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain their melt-in-your-mouth texture.
