Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup freeze-dried strawberries
  • 1/2 cup unsalted European-style butter
  • 1/2 cup organic cane sugar
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 pasture-raised egg
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla bean paste

Method
 

  1. Dehydrate and pulverize the freeze-dried strawberries in a high-speed blender until they reach a fine powder.
  2. Cream the butter with both sugars using a stand mixer on medium-high for three minutes.
  3. Add the egg and vanilla bean paste, mixing until fully incorporated.
  4. Sift the flour, baking soda, and salt into a bowl and gradually combine with the wet mixture.
  5. Hand-fold in the remaining strawberry powder and optional chocolate if desired.
  6. Scoop the dough into balls, cover, and refrigerate for at least 24 hours.
  7. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and verify the temperature with a thermometer.
  8. Place the chilled dough balls on baking sheets, spaced apart, and bake for 10 to 12 minutes.
  9. Rest the cookies on baking sheets for five minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

Notes

For best results, ensure butter is at 65°F (18°C) and dough is properly chilled for 24 hours. Use freeze-dried strawberries for optimal flavor and texture.
