Description
Delightful strawberry sugar cookies infused with fresh strawberries, perfect for sharing moments and indulging in sweetness.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 3/4 cups quartered strawberries (fresh or frozen)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups multipurpose gluten-free flour (with xanthan gum)
- 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (or vegan baking stick, room temperature)
- 1 1/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 rounded tablespoons cornstarch mixed with 3 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup milk
- 3.5 tablespoons strawberry syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon red food coloring (adjust based on type)
Instructions
- Prepare your strawberries by rinsing, hulling, and quartering them, then mash slightly for easier incorporation.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and 1 1/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons of sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the cornstarch-water mixture and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mix. Stir until combined.
- Gradually add in the gluten-free flour, baking powder, and salt, blending gently to avoid overworking the dough.
- Fold in the mashed strawberries, milk, strawberry syrup, and red food coloring, mixing just until combined.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized dollops of dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving space in between each cookie.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges turn lightly golden.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Notes
Chill the dough for about 30 minutes before baking for thicker cookies. Ensure baking powder is fresh for better rise.
