Description
Simple sugar cookies flavored and colored with fresh strawberries.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberry puree (strained)
- Pink food coloring (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Stir in the strawberry puree. Add a drop or two of pink food coloring if a stronger color is desired.
- If the dough is too soft, chill it for 30 minutes.
- Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness.
- Use cookie cutters to cut out shapes. Place the shapes on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a smoother puree, press the mashed strawberries through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds.
- Do not overmix the dough once the flour is added.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature.
