Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 3 cups freeze-dried strawberries
  • 1 cup salted butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/3 cup strawberry jam

Icing

  • 2 ounces cream cheese
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup hot milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare Freeze-Dried Strawberry Powder: Using a blender, pulverize the freeze-dried strawberries into a fine powder to add intense strawberry flavor throughout the recipe.
  2. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, cream together the room temperature salted butter, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is light and fluffy, which ensures a tender cookie texture.
  4. Add Egg and Dry Ingredients: Beat in the egg fully. Gradually incorporate the all-purpose flour, baking soda, a portion of the strawberry powder, and kosher salt into the mixture, mixing until just combined.
  5. Mix in Strawberry Jam: Gently fold in the strawberry jam to add moistness and deepen the strawberry flavor.
  6. Shape Cookies: Roll the cookie dough into balls and place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet to allow room for spreading.
  7. Bake Cookies: Bake for 8 minutes, then lightly tap the baking sheet to flatten the cookies gently. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 2–3 minutes until edges are set and lightly golden.
  8. Prepare Icing: In a bowl, combine the cream cheese, powdered sugar, hot milk, vanilla extract, and the remaining strawberry powder. Adjust consistency by adding more hot milk if the icing is too thick for dipping or drizzling.
  9. Ice Cookies: Once cookies have cooled completely, dip them into the prepared icing or drizzle the icing over the tops for a glossy, flavorful finish.

Notes

  • Adjust icing consistency by adding small amounts of hot milk until the desired texture is achieved.
  • Make sure cookies are completely cooled before icing to prevent melting or sliding.
  • Use parchment paper to aid in easy removal and cleanup.
  • Freeze-dried strawberries add concentrated flavor and natural color without moisture.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
