Description
Delicious cookies made with freeze dried strawberries, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 3 cups freeze dried strawberries, divided
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and cream cheese until thoroughly combined.
- Add the sugar and beat well, about 1 minute.
- Next, add the egg and vanilla and continue to beat until light and fluffy, about an additional minute.
- In a medium bowl whisk together flour and baking powder. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the cream cheese mixture and beat on low speed until mixed.
- Add 2 cups of the freeze dried strawberries and mix until just combined (you want some bigger pieces to remain).
- Cover and chill the dough in the refrigerator until firm, for at least 1 hour.
- When ready to bake the cookies, heat the oven to 350ºF (180ºC).
- Roll 2 tablespoons (60g) of the dough into balls and arrange on a baking sheet 2 inches apart.
- Bake the cookies until the edges are just golden brown, about 12 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
- Pulverize the remaining freeze dried strawberries in a small bag until they become a powder.
- Use a fine mesh sieve to garnish the top of the cookies with the powder. Serve at room temperature.
Notes
- Chill the dough for at least 1 hour for the best texture.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container.
