Ingredients
  

Cookie Base
  • 1 cup Freeze-Dried Strawberries Adds fruity sweetness and a lovely pink hue.
  • 2 cups Unbleached All-Purpose Flour No direct substitutes recommended.
  • 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar Consider using brown sugar for extra depth.
  • 1/2 cup Dutch-Process Cocoa Powder Infuses a rich chocolate flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Opt for pure vanilla for the best taste.
  • 1/2 cup Butter Vegan butter is a great dairy-free alternative.
  • 1 large Egg A flax egg can be used as a substitute.
Optional Toppings

Equipment

Method
 

Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine softened butter with granulated sugar. Beat on medium speed for about 3–5 minutes until light and fluffy.
  2. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix on low speed until fully incorporated, about 1–2 minutes.
  3. Gradually sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and freeze-dried strawberries. Stir gently or mix on low speed until a cohesive dough forms, about 2–3 minutes.
  4. Using a cookie scoop, portion out the dough into round mounds and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet with space between.
  5. Gently press each dough mound to hold their shape, then cover with plastic wrap and chill for about 30 minutes.
  6. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) while the dough chills.
  7. Bake the chilled dough for approximately 10–12 minutes, or until edges are set and tops look slightly glossy.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
