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.
