Description
Delightful strawberry-infused sugar cookies topped with sparkling sugar, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar, plus 1/4 cup for sparkling topping
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, pureed
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy – about 3-5 minutes.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully blended.
- Gradually mix in the pureed strawberries until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.
- Carefully fold in the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies light.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Sprinkle the top of each cookie with the remaining 1/4 cup of granulated sugar for that extra sparkle.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers remain soft.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Use ripe strawberries for the best flavor. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
