Strawberry Champagne Cookies
Description
Strawberry Champagne Cookies begin with creamed butter and powdered sugar combined with egg and flavor extracts, including strawberry and champagne, to impart a fruity and slightly effervescent essence. Vanilla extract rounds out the profile. The addition of pink food coloring gives the dough a cheerful hue, enhancing the visual appeal. Baking powder and salt balance and aid in texture.
The dough is chilled for an hour to firm up for handling. Cookie dough balls are rolled in pink sugar sprinkles before baking at 350°F, ensuring a sweet, crinkly sugary coating that contrasts with the soft, tender inside. The result is a delicate cookie with festive look and subtle berry and sparkling wine flavors sustained by extracts.
These cookies are suitable for serving at celebrations, tea, or as special treats. Making your own champagne extract by reducing sparkling wine allows for a fresher flavor if preferred. Cooling the extract before mixing is important to prevent cooking the eggs in the dough. The finished cookies pair well with light beverages or fruit-based accompaniments.
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter softened, unsalted
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons strawberry extract
- 2 teaspoons champagne extract
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt

- sugar sprinkles for rolling the cookie dough, pink
Instructions
- To make your own champagne extract, add 1 cup of sparkling wine to a small saucepan and heat until boiling. Continue cooking until reduced by half, then set aside to cool. (If using store-bought extract, skip this step).
- Using a standing mixer or electric hand mixer, beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Continue mixing, adding the egg, strawberry extract, champagne extract and vanilla extract until combined.
- In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt.
- Gradually pour dry ingredients into your bowl of wet ingredients, mixing as you go.
- Finally, add a few drops of pink food coloring until your batter is the desired color.
- Cover the dough with plastic wrap and place into the fridge for one hour.
- When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Pour pink sprinkles into a small bowl.
- Using a medium cookie scooper, portion out the dough.
- Roll each ball of dough in the bowl of sprinkles.
- Place dough balls onto a prepared cookie sheet and bake for 9-10 minutes.
- Allow to cool completely before enjoying.
Notes
- You can make homemade champagne extract by reducing sparkling wine to half and cooling before use in the dough.
- Chilling the dough for an hour improves handling and helps the cookies keep their shape when baking.
- Rolling the dough balls in pink sugar sprinkles adds a sweet, textured coating that complements the cookie's flavor and appearance.
