Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

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

Strawberry Cream Cheese Icing

  • 2 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup hot milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Portion of freeze-dried strawberry powder (reserved from above)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Strawberry Powder: Using a blender, pulverize freeze-dried strawberries into a fine powder. Set aside, reserving a portion for the dough and the rest for the icing.
  2. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  3. Make Dough: In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract together until the mixture is light and fluffy. Beat in the egg until well combined. Gradually add the flour, baking soda, part of the strawberry powder, and kosher salt, mixing thoroughly. Finally, fold in the strawberry jam to incorporate flavor and moisture.
  4. Shape Cookies: Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter, and place evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Bake Cookies: Bake for 8 minutes until the edges begin to set. Remove from the oven and lightly tap the baking sheet to flatten the cookies gently. Return to the oven and bake an additional 2 to 3 minutes until the cookies are golden and set.
  6. Prepare Icing: In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, hot milk, vanilla extract, and the remaining strawberry powder. Whisk until smooth and creamy. Adjust the icing consistency by adding more milk if too thick.
  7. Ice Cookies: Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, either dip each cookie into the strawberry cream cheese icing or drizzle the icing on top using a spoon or piping bag. Let the icing set before serving.

Notes

  • Make sure the butter and cream cheese are at room temperature for easier mixing.
  • Freeze-dried strawberries add a natural concentrated strawberry flavor without added moisture.
  • Gently tapping the baking sheet helps achieve a uniform cookie thickness.
  • Adjust the icing consistency with milk to suit your preferred thickness for dipping or drizzling.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
