Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (plus extra for coating)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/3 cup freeze-dried strawberries, finely crushed
- 3/4 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and crushed freeze-dried strawberries. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the mini chocolate chips. The dough will be thick.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and roll them into balls. Place them onto the prepared baking sheet about 1 inch apart.
- Bake for 12–14 minutes, or until the edges are set and the bottoms are lightly golden. The tops will remain pale.
- Let the cookies cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet, then roll them in powdered sugar while still warm. Once completely cooled, roll them in powdered sugar again for an extra snowy coating.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- For extra strawberry flavor, consider adding a drop of strawberry extract.
