Ingredients

Scale

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup freeze-dried strawberries, finely ground
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
  4. Gradually add the all-purpose flour and salt, mixing until the dough comes together.
  5. Fold in the finely ground freeze-dried strawberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  6. Roll the dough into small balls or shape it into your desired cookie form.
  7. Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
