I love to enjoy a couple of these rose-tinged cookies with a cup of tea. I make the sweet pink sugar dust by pulsing freeze-dried strawberries with powdered sugar. For a less dense cookie, you can make them half as big.

Ingredients

Cookies:

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Strawberry Sugar Dust:

Two 1-ounce packages freeze-dried strawberries

1 cup powdered sugar

Directions

  1. For the cookies: Beat the butter and powdered sugar with an electric mixer at medium speed until creamy. Beat in the vanilla. Combine the flour and salt in a medium bowl, then add to the butter mixture and beat until combined. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  3. Scoop the dough into 1-inch balls using a cookie scoop and place 2 inches apart on parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Bake the cookies until golden brown on the bottoms, 13 to 15 minutes.
  4. For the strawberry sugar dust: Meanwhile, pulse the strawberries in a food processor until it forms a powder. Add the powdered sugar and pulse until combined.
  5. Roll the warm cookies in the strawberry powdered sugar and transfer to wire racks to cool. Roll in the strawberry powdered sugar again, if necessary, after cooled.

Easy and yummy. I got the freeze dried strawberries from Trader Joe's. I added a little of the pulverized strawberry to the batter. The tip about using half of the dipping sugar was on point. Chilling the dough helped maintain the shape. They turned out pictures perfect
