Ingredients

Scale
  • 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
  • 2 ounces cream cheese
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup hot milk

Instructions

  1. Begin by pulverizing the freeze-dried strawberries in a blender until they reach a fine powder.
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter, sugar, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy. Incorporate the egg into the mixture.
  4. Gradually mix in the flour, baking soda, part of the strawberry powder, and salt. Finally, blend in the strawberry jam.
  5. Shape the dough into balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake for about 8 minutes; then lightly tap the baking sheet to flatten before continuing to bake for an additional 2–3 minutes until they are lightly golden.
  7. For the icing, combine cream cheese, powdered sugar, hot milk, vanilla extract, and remaining strawberry powder until smooth.
  8. Once cooled, dip or drizzle icing over cookies before serving.
