Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons strawberry puree
- Red food coloring (optional)
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Extra granulated sugar for rolling
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg, vanilla extract, and strawberry puree to the mixture. Mix until well combined. If desired, add a few drops of red food coloring to enhance the pink hue.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix until a dough forms, being careful not to overmix.
- Shape Dough: Roll dough into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball in the extra granulated sugar to coat.
- Bake Cookies: Place the sugar-coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the cookies have a crackled top.
- Cool Cookies: Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a stronger strawberry flavor, consider using a strawberry extract or additional puree.
- Ensure butter is softened to room temperature for easy mixing.
- If using fresh strawberries for the puree, blend them until smooth and strain to remove seeds if desired.
- Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
