Ingredients
- 2 ½ 2 ½ cups freeze-dried strawberries see note (1.5oz)
- 1 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 1 cup granulated sugar
- pink food coloring optional
- 1 1 large egg
- 1 ¾ 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ ¾ teaspoon salt
- ½ ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ ¼ cup granulated sugar for rolling
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F (175C).
- Place freeze-dried strawberries in a food processor and pulse repeatedly until they’re ground to a fine dust. Measure out 1 Tablespoon of fine powder and place in a small dish (for rolling the cookies).
- Combine butter and granulated sugar in large bowl and use an electric mixer to beat until well-creamed (about 2 minutes on md-high speed).
- Add strawberry powder (minus the Tablespoon which you will reserve for later) and stir on low-speed until combined.
- If desired, add pink food coloring until desired color is achieved.
- Stir in egg until combined.
- In a separate dish, whisk together flour, salt, and baking soda. With mixer on low-speed, gradually add to the strawberry mixture in 3 parts, stirring until completely combined.
- Take your reserved strawberry powder from earlier and add ¼ cup (50 g) of granulated sugar. Whisk until well-combined.
- Scoop dough by level 1 ½ Tablespoon and roll between your palms to make a smooth ball. Roll through the strawberry/sugar mixture until completely coated and place on a parchment lined baking sheet, spacing at least 2” apart.
- Bake in center rack of 350F (175C) oven for 11 minutes. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for several minutes before using a spatula to carefully transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely before enjoying.

Notes
- These are usually sold in the grocery store in the dried fruit and nut section. I place these in a food processor and pulverize until they’re a fine dust.
- If you already have powdered strawberries, you will need 1 cup of powder.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
